Saddle Dust
Casey Long is an outlaw with a storied past and troubles finding her at every turn. When she is shot in a saloon during what some townsfolk describe as a random attack, Casey remembers some very important details from her childhood which ultimately lead her down a trail she hasn't walked in years. Along the way, Casey loses family and finds it again all the while trying to make a living off of the banks and innocent passersby she robs, usually with a bottle of whiskey nearby.
