~It's 1887 and a dust storm is about to hit the town of Willow Creek. The west was wild, but the wind was wilder. As the storm approaches, a wacky assortment of characters—including a mysterious cowboy, a gregarious blacksmith, and even a dancing corpse—find themselves seeking refuge in the local saloon. Together, they navigate the challenges and hilarities of confinement, revealing the heart and humor of a community banded against the elements.
"No one is exactly what they seem, and everyone's got a secret hidden up their sleeve."
