Nebraska, 1901. Neville yearns to prove himself a “ true man” , but he faces obstacle after obstacle. Along his journey, he meets J. Sterling Morton, an illustrious statesman who could offer Neville the salvation he desires. For Morton suffers at the hands of an elusive demon, one that Neville himself has encountered. Tasked with killing the creature, Neville hopes to rise to the status of legend; but he may just as easily be crushed beneath forces that outmatch him— or become the very monster that he hopes to vanquish— in this grimly comic, thoroughly bloody historical Eco-Noir tale.
