PRICE: Negotiable
GENRE: Thriller/Western
LOGLINE: In 1880 Wyoming, a young woman and her father conspire to murder a gang of notorious bounty hunters and steal the bodies of their victims during a violent blizzard.
SYNOPSIS:
In the winter of 1880, a gang of seven bounty hunters in the Wyoming mountains kill their last bounty target when their stagecoach full of corpses breaks down and falls off a cliff. The bounty hunters, led by a man named Warren, travel on foot through the snow when a violent blizzard hits them. They luckily find shelter in a house in the woods, where a family of three allows them to stay the night.
Mercy, the daughter of the family, discovers early the next morning while feeding her horses that there are five dead bodies buried near her horse stable. The family soon discovers that the men are notorious bounty hunters known as the “Crimson Gang” and have stashed the bodies there for the night. After the blizzard dies down, Mercy’s father plans to kill the bounty hunters and steal the bounties with the help of his wife and Mercy. They load up the bodies on their horses. When the outlaws step outside and begin to leave, they notice that Mercy’s father is acting suspicious and carrying a pistol on his holster. The bounty hunters immediately kill Mercy’s parents in a brutal shootout, but Mercy shoots one of them and escapes with all the bodies on the horses from her stable.
With a fortune's worth of dead bodies, Mercy travels several miles to the nearest house and finds her reclusive neighbor Clifton in the woods, a retired lawman and gunslinger in his 80s, the man who taught Mercy how to shoot. As Mercy borrows his stable to store the dead bodies in snow to prevent them from thawing and decomposing, Clifton is shot and killed by the bounty hunters in his final duel.
As the snowfall dies down, the gang continue to follow her tracks in the snow, leading them into Native American territory. Mercy continues traveling out of the forest into the hills at night, where she meets a lone Arapaho girl...Mercy speaks her language and they have a short conversation: the girl reveals that she was separated from her home tribe during a tribal war. The Arapaho girl offers Mercy shelter in her teepee, and even shares her cooked deer with her. At dawn when Mercy awakens, Warren and the bounty hunters find the teepee and ride towards it as Mercy narrowly escapes on her horse, killing the Arapaho girl and pursuing Mercy.
Mercy escapes from the bounty hunters as she rides out into the woods, but she then encounters a vicious local tribe of Arapaho warriors: one of them knocks her unconscious with his bow. Mercy wakes up bound to a tree and she is interrogated by the Arapaho warriors, who threaten to kill her - when Mercy speaks in their language and warns them about the bounty hunter gang, they spare her life and notice that the bounty hunters are close: one tribesman sees Warren and the bounty hunters approaching them through his telescope. The warriors prepare for war, riding out into the forest and meeting the bounty hunters, who swiftly kill the tribesmen in a brutal battle. The leader of the tribe is killed, several of the Crimson Gang are wounded, and Warren is also killed, leaving the next in command to lead the gang: a ruthless gunslinger named Frank, who carries a bullwhip on his shoulder. The Arapaho villagers flee and Mercy manages to escape. Frank and the Crimson Gang continue following Mercy’s tracks in the snow as she rides up a mountain, killing several of them when she uses her superior shooting skills and knowledge of the terrain to her advantage, setting off an avalanche that kills one member of the gang. After a brutal fight, Mercy disarms and cripples Frank near a river, mortally wounding him and leaving his body in the water to drown.
Mercy descends a long rocky mountain slope covered in large rocks and ends up at a house in a clearing next to the Rocky Mountains, where she ambushes and kills the owners inside. Mercy is seriously injured and profusely bleeding, having been shot in the arm, shoulder and leg. She treats her wounds and rests, then creates a trap for the last surviving member of the Crimson Gang, who is also the biggest of the gang: a nearly 7 foot, 350 pound man named Joe. He enters the house and survives the trap after being set on fire and nearly killed - vengeful and enraged, he catches Mercy in the living room and beats her, kicking her and throwing her through furniture repeatedly to prolong her suffering.
After a brutal beatdown, Mercy fights back and eventually escapes outside, running up the rocky slope outside the house. She climbs the rocks and Joe follows, but Mercy is able to use her elevation to her advantage, throwing several rocks at Joe's head. As Joe catches up to her and starts dragging her down by the leg, Mercy bashes Joe’s head in with a large rock and kills him.
Bruised, beaten up and exhausted, Mercy recovers the bodies from the gunslinger’s stable and rides out to the nearest town, arriving in Hawthorne. Mercy goes to the sheriff's office with the gang's wanted posters and informs the sheriff of the whereabouts of the Crimson Gang's bounties...but Mercy finds out that the bodies they were carrying were unknown, and to her dismay, the sheriff reveals that the bounty posters were forged in order for the Crimson Gang to appear to be bounty hunters while their victims were likely members of outlaw gangs that have been wanted dead by rival gangs. However, the sheriff also reveals to Mercy that the Crimson Gang themselves were likely to be wanted outlaws.
Mercy then leads several lawmen back into the wilderness where they find several bodies of the Crimson Gang, some more badly damaged than others, some decomposing and some still frozen in the snow at high altitude. Several bodies have been torn up by wolves and other wild animals. They are eventually able to recover five of the seven bodies, cramming them into the police stagecoach and bringing them back to town. Later in Hawthorne at the sheriff's office, the lawmen reward Mercy with a bag full of cash, instantly making her wealthy.
Days later, on a train ride to the town of Blackburn, Mercy is unknowingly followed by a man with a bandaged forehead and a cowboy hat hiding his face. In the town of Blackburn, Mercy buys herself a new horse and rides to the town's best hotel with her bag of cash. The bandaged and disheveled Frank, who barely survived his fight with Mercy, later sneaks into Mercy's hotel room in Blackburn and kills her by beating and strangling her to death with a bullwhip. Taking the bag of Mercy’s money with him, he leaves the hotel and limps out into the street where the town's residents recognize him as a wanted outlaw: one instantly shoots him to death, claiming the bounty reward on Frank and the money he was carrying.
Back at Mercy’s house, the bodies of Mercy’s mother and father still lie peacefully in the snow, untouched and undisturbed.
