The Rev. Shay (Willie Nelson) moves out West to set up his new home in Montana so that he can spread God's word. But when his wife, Raysha (Morgan Fairchild), leaves him for another man -- in part because she wants to return to Philadelphia -- the reverend decides to replace his spiritual ways with a gun. After shooting down his wife and her lover, he battles a landowner intent on keeping all of the town's water for himself. But his deadly ways make him yearn for a belief in God again.

Janice M Not bad. It's pretty much your typical more modern western. Always a bully in town and the townspeople getting revenge. I was interested in seeing how it ended and I watched it all the way through. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review alan g Who ever thought this pot head could act. Yes his music is good but acting. Ignore. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Audience Member I love this one with Willie Nelson.
