In the rugged heart of the Wild West lies a town where the sun paints the sky with hues of orange and purple as it sinks beneath the horizon every evening – Sundown Ridge. A place of hardy folk and simple pleasures, where law and order are maintained by one man, Sheriff Buster. Calm, steadfast, and unyielding in his pursuit of justice, Buster is a beacon of lawfulness in a world often fraught with chaos.
However, the serene rhythm of Sundown Ridge is disrupted with the arrival of a vibrant circus, parading into the town amidst a fanfare of anticipation and excitement. The townsfolk, including the charming schoolteacher Mary, Buster's sweetheart, are captivated by the mesmerizing performances. Little do they know that this spectacle of joy and laughter conceals a much darker reality.
