Spoilers ahead
Eddie Moore drifts into the oil town of Rockfield with little more than a passing shadow of a past, and almost immediately finds trouble when the town’s corrupt authorities pull him into their harsh world. The local sheriff, Sheriff Rankin, along with his deputy, harass him for breaking a strict hitch-hiking ordinance, and they dump him at the edge of the oil fields with an order: stay away and never come back. Eddie’s rough welcome sets a tone for a town where power is consolidating, and where justice seems to bend to the will of those with guns and badges.
