Plot
Sundown, a bounty hunter and exile from his homeland, journeys to the deserts of the Frontier to seek respite from his past. A magical Sabre in tow, he and a new ally - the retired brigand chieftain Snake Eye - find their paths intertwined. They fight to protect both the town of Scorpion Hill and frontier-dwelling victims of the Empire’s purges, and fend off threats from both their pasts.
They cannot run forever.
