In the film, the drifter Paul (Hawke) and his dog are making their way towards Mexico through the Old West. In an attempt to shorten their journey, Paul cuts through the town of Denton, known by locals as the “valley of violence,” controlled by a brash group of misfits led by Gilly Martin (James Ransone,) the impulsive of Marshal Clyde Martin (John Travolta).
