Plot

In the barren landscape of the Wild West, we find Will Tenneray and Abe Cross, two renowned gunfighters approaching the twilight of their notorious careers. Their names echo with tales of past battles, but time has worn them down, leaving them penniless. Cross, with his luck dried up just like his unsuccessful gold prospecting venture, finds himself on the brink of despair. Tenneray, on the other hand, scrapes by on the remnants of his old glory, charming gullible patrons into buying drinks at the local saloon. As these two aging legends cross paths, the town buzzes with anticipation of a deadly duel. However, an unexpected camaraderie blossoms between them. They find shared stories in each other's scars and common desperation in their empty pockets. Fueled by their dire circumstances and the town's thirst for spectacle, Tenneray proposes a daring solution - a staged showdown. A gunfight, not born of hatred or rivalry, but a performance for the eager townsfolk willing to pay for the thrill. Their plan is simple. The winner of the gunfight takes the proceeds from the ticket sales. Both men are enticed by the promise of a payday and the chance to relive their glory days. However, the looming reality of their agreement casts a long shadow - the potential cost of their desperate plan might be the life of a newfound friend. In the dusty streets of this frontier town, they prepare for a show like no other, a gunfight where every bullet echoes with friendship, desperation, and an unquenchable thirst for survival.
