The premise
A stranger stumbles into the desert town of Absolution with no memory of his past and a futuristic shackle around his wrist. With the help of mysterious beauty Ella and the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde, he finds himself leading an unlikely posse of cowboys, outlaws, and Apache warriors against a common enemy from beyond this world in an epic showdown for survival.
Horror Vault's take
A nameless drifter wakes up in the Arizona desert with no memory and a strange metallic device fused to his wrist — the only clue to an encounter he can't recall. When an isolated frontier town is suddenly attacked by terrifying creatures from the sky, old rivalries between lawmen, outlaws, and Apache warriors are forced to dissolve in the face of something far worse than any human enemy. Blending the dust and gunpowder of the classic Western with pulse-pounding alien-invasion thrills, this genre mash-up stages its showdown on an epic scale. The fate of the frontier — and perhaps much more — hinges on one man's fractured past.
