A marked-for-death outlaw rekindles old Dixie Mafia blood feuds after returning to the rogue barrier island of Vengeance on a mission to reclaim what?s his and kill the dirty motherfucker who gunned him down, stole his girl, and built a cocaine empire in the lawless coastal town he once called home.

Hmmm… While I do agree that my initial logline was a bit wordy (and I included the town name against my better judgement), the environment and his history there do play a key part and is essentially a character in and of its own, so I feel there needs to be mention of the setting. How’s this:

On a rogue barrier island off the Georgia coast, A marked-for-death outlaw seeks vengeance against the dirty motherfucker who gunned him down, stole his girl, and built a cocaine empire in the lawless town he once called home.

Really, the inciting incident is the return to a hometown where he already has bad blood. His motivation is that his girl is getting weary of life on the road as a drifting grifter and her ex comes with a job with a big enough score that they can get the hell out and escape to a private island or wherever. She essentially gives him the ultimatum, take this job or I’m out. So he takes the job. They pull it successfully when the ex double crosses him at the deal (and her too, albeit unwittingly) So now shot and left for dead, he has to fight to take back what’s his and get revenge in a town where old enemies are already lining up to kill him. It’s certainly not short on conflict, though I do need to take care that the plot doesn’t get too convoluted between old and new enemies (that do end up working in tandem). This is definitely in the vein of a Machete type movie. It’s supposed to be fun, capitalize on the sex and violence draw and not take itself too seriously while also posing questions about blood being thicker than water, forgiveness, etc.
