POINT OF ROCKS is a gritty, character-driven Western about what happens when order finally arrives in a place built on forgetting. Sent west by a powerful U.S. Marshal in New York, Sheriff Joel Walsh takes charge of Point of Rocks-a lawless stagecoach town drowning in whiskey, gambling, and fear. Joel isn't a gunman chasing glory. He's a man who listens, waits, and stays long enough for chaos to reveal itself. Out on the trails, three men keep the night alive. James, fast and reckless. Chip, a gambler who dreams of land he never buys. Gary, quiet, watchful, and dangerous because he knows better. They don't rob to get rich. They rob to drink, to gamble, to forget. As the town tightens and the wilderness presses in, Joel draws a line-quietly, firmly-knowing that holding it will cost him something no badge can protect. POINT OF ROCKS is a modern Western in the tradition of classic frontier lawmen, exploring justice, loneliness, and the price of staying when running would be easier.
