Plot

In the wake of a calamitous bank heist, Blackjack and his malevolent gang leave a trail of blood and chaos behind them. Their ill-begotten fortune slips through their fingers, leading them into the shroud of a formidable dust storm, a desperate attempt to outwit the relentless town posse on their heels. Emerging from this swirling abyss, they stumble upon the oddly serene town of Refuge, a place where the inhabitants greet them with open arms, offering help instead of hostility, a sanctuary where no one wields a gun, imbibes liquor, or utters a curse. However, this tranquility brews unease among the hardened outlaws, all but the youngest, Sonny, who perceives the peculiar charm of Refuge differently. As the gang contemplates exploiting the town's defenseless state, Sonny unravels the mystifying secret that binds the townsfolk together. These aren’t just ordinary folks; they are the spirits of infamous outlaws and criminals like Doc Holliday and Wild Bill Hickok, trapped in a limbo between heaven and hell, atoning for their past sins in this purgatory called Refuge. As the gang threatens the peace, the spectral residents of Refuge face an existential dilemma: either risk eternal damnation by resorting to violence or succumb to a second death. Amidst this brewing storm, the town of Refuge teeters on the edge of destruction and salvation, weaving a compelling tale of redemption, retribution, and the thin line between heaven and hell.
