Discover a new heroâŚ
Clyde Barr, the drifter with lethal skills, is alone again, wandering the highways of the American West in search of something to believe in. As summer turns to autumn, he heads for the mountains, planning to clear his head and regain his edge with some hunting. But when he runs across an elderly sick manâa Ute Indian from a nearby reservationâClydeâs dream of solitude is quickly dashed.
On the reservation, Clyde finds the old manâs daughter, Lawana, and grandson, Taylor, as well as a group of menacing bikers called Reapers running wild in the struggling, half-abandoned village. Gripped by the desire to do good in a hard world, Clyde offers to stay on Lawanaâs ranch to help out until her father is better. As tensions rise between the locals and the Reapers, Clydeâs efforts to protect the reservation become a fight for his, Lawanaâs and Taylorâs livesâŚ
A Promise to Kill is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, pushing its no-hold-barred hero to new levels of improvisation and bare-knuckled blunt force.
