Bleak forgettable modern western who done it!
Who do you think did it?
Billy Croyle is being commuted from prison for the crime of murder. The reason is given as "something to do with his son." Don't dwell on it. He was found guilty of killing a Linder couple. Jody Linder, the surviving daughter is upset. However we quickly discover, as does Jody, that Billy may be innocent. Billy is an uncouth drunk who everyone says belongs in jail, and "some folks" claim he is innocent, although jail is a good place for him.
Jody Linder puts on her Nancy Drew persona and digs into the past in a film filled with flashbacks that are sometimes confusing. The film is not "Winterbone" but has plot similarities. Worth a view if you think you would like a western mystery.
BTW that scent is ozone.
Guide: F-word. Brief sex and brief nudity.
