Their mother is ill, bills are piling up, and creditors and collection agencies are snatching their already meager possessions.

In the midst of this chaos, our heroes come face to face with a corrupt sheriff, who seems primarily interested in her own gain. As the situation escalates into a whirlwind game of guns and betrayal, they discover that even the most hopeless situation can have an unexpected twist. And then there is a mysterious cowboy with a guitar, who sings the events together.
