Synopsis:

 

  • A special deputy rides into a dead frontier town, chasing whispers of a ghostly legend known only as the White Death. But as the silence thickens and the day bleeds into night, he realizes he’s stepped into something older—and far darker—than a duel. This isn’t a fight for justice—it’s a reckoning between pride and grief, blood and memory, and a force beyond anything he’s faced before.
