For Robbing The Dead
Henry Heath, a grieving lawman whose daughter has recently died, is assigned custody of the ghoulish Jean Baptiste, a notorious robber of 300 graves. Against the perilous Utah desert terrain Heath must somehow keep a marked man alive.
My takeA tense Western that marries grief with moral complexity. Two damaged men—a lawman haunted by loss and a grave robber marked for death—forge an unlikely bond across unforgiving desert. For viewers who want substance over spectacle, and who appreciate stories about broken people finding unexpected grace.
