Smoke
Appleloosa finds itself in the middle of heavy conflict after a foreigner shows up on the town's doorstep, revealing more than a land's simple thirst for violence.
Drifters come and drifters go, leaving the town of Appleloosa as nameless and unnoticed as if they had never been there in the first place. What happens, however, when a drifter isn't an everyday sight, especially when taking into account his peculiar appearance? A world of distrust and violence opens up to not only him, but to a cast of others, all affected directly or indirectly by the chaos in their own way.
When the blinding smoke of skepticism finally fades, will there be anyone left untouched by it?
Rated teen for adult themes, language, and violence.
