When a stranger rides into a town split between two families, he must sell each of them the other’s destruction.

Longer logline

When a nameless gunfighter arrives in a border town run by two smuggling families who hate each other more than they fear anyone, in a world where the innkeeper is the only honest man and a woman is being held as a debt, a stranger who sells information to both sides must play them into wiping each other out, before either works out he has been doing it — and takes his hands apart for it.
