Plot Outline: Monte Walsh and Chet Rollins are long-time cowhands, working whatever ranch work comes their way, but…
Plot: Monte Walsh and Chet Rollins are long-time cowhands, working whatever ranch work comes their way, but “nothing they can't do from a horse.” Their lives are divided between months on the range and the occasional trip into town. Monte has a long-term relationship with prostitute Martine Bernard, while Chet has fallen under the spell of the widow who owns the hardware store. Camaraderie and competition with the other cowboys fill their days, until one of the hands, Shorty Austin, loses his job and gets involved in rustling and killing. Then Monte and Chet find that their lives on the range are inexorably redirected.

Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list – like these:
- The production company, Full Moon Pictures, changed its name to Shadow Entertainment following the release of that label's last film, _Jigsaw (2002)_, making this the first movie to hold the new company logo, Shadow Entertainment.
- At the office building where Shawn and Maddy work has framed posters of earlier Charles Band productions, such as Curse of the Puppet Master (1998) and _Crash And Burn (1990)_.
- This project was originally offered to horror maven and Full Moon Features founder Charles Band as one that would cash in on the then-lucrative and re-energized slasher film sub-genre. But Band did not want to produce the film under the Full Moon banner, since the company maintained a strict policy that forbade human-on-human killing in its horror films (deaths would always come from a creature of some variation, i.e. the Puppet Master franchise). As a result, Band created Shadow Films to produce this film, and several other titles that followed later.
