Spoilers ahead
On the Texas frontier in 1887, a rugged line between law and lawlessness sets the stage for a tense, shadow-filled pursuit. Texas Ranger David Kingston is dispatched by Governor “Sul” Ross to the isolated town of Mount Hermon with a clear mission: uncover a chilling string of murders and disappearances that haunt the nearby Mexican communities, and specifically search for Maria Calderon, the missing niece of a Mexican general who threatens to invade if she is not found. The weight of his assignment rests on a quiet resolve, and beneath his calm exterior lies the burden of a past he hopes to keep intact as he steps into a town that already wears fear like a second skin.
