Beating Back

Al Jennings, a sharp‑tongued attorney from Oklahoma whose lineage includes a venerated judge, is thrust into a vortex of vengeance after his brother Ed is gunned down in the back by two hired killers. The murder ignites a fury that is only amplified when Al is falsely implicated in a robbery, prompting a frantic flight from a relentless posse that riddles him with bullets. Though grievously wounded, he eludes capture, steals a country store as a symbolic act of retribution, and soon amasses a ragtag outlaw band headquartered at the notorious Spike S Ranch. With the local sheriff tightening the noose, Al and his steadfast sibling Frank plot one final, audacious heist before abandoning Oklahoma forever, a desperate gambit that fuses familial loyalty, moral ambiguity, and the mythic allure of the American frontier.
