Quirt Evans staggers onto a ranch with a bullet in his back and finds mercy instead of a grave. Penny offers him a life past violence.

On a Santa Fe set that dropped to 14 degrees, the company talks horses, authentic Westerns versus costume drama, faith without a lecture, and why this one belongs in a theater.
