When wanted outlaw and long-time friend of the local Sheriff rides into town, they try to reconcile their past while concealing his presence from the county Marshal. Based on the original song "The Ballad of the Westwind Kid" by Brumby.

Orrin Porter Rockwell was a complicated man. He was violent as well as kind, beloved as well as feared. This short film highlights these contrasting aspects of his character as he wrestles with his own larger-than-life legacy. This short film is a proof of concept. We hope to tell the whole story of Porter Rockwell in a coming full-length feature film. We love Porter and his history, and this short film is a tribute to his faith, passion, and determination to do what is right - no matter how hard.
