FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Legendary filmmaker Roger Corman has signed on to the production team of The Unlikely Cowboy
After
growing up in Los Angeles, Adam Doppler, 23, hasn't seen his estranged father
in 10 years. Now, fresh out of college and unsure of his future, the life-altering
experience of his mother's death drives Adam up to the tiny mountain town
of Hayfork, California. His father, Jim, 55, is the Sheriff of the quiet county
and is eager to see his only child again after so many years.
The two are reunited with a rough past catching up to them and the present looking strained but hopeful. But any future relationship between father and son is suddenly shattered when Jim is killed in a violent car crash that shocks the sleepy town and deals Adam a blow from which he may never recover.
But
Hayfork harbors a dirty secret, a secret which has taken from Adam the last
chance he ever had of connecting with his father. A monster conglomerate from
the big city has been using the town and its residents to manufacture synthetic
drugs at low cost for overseas trafficking. Now, with his world turned upside
down, Adam begins to realize that the growing conspiracy is keeping the secret
of the town locked up tight-and he is the only one who can expose the truth.
Racing against time, defying the corrupt arm of the law and a group of sinister "locals," Adam doesn't know whom he can trust to help him compromise the conspiracy and restore honor to his father's name. Even the woman he has fallen in love with may be sleeping with the enemy. He is forced into his father's footsteps to take matters into his own hands.
Murder, greed, passion and deception. These are the ingredients for a nightmare from which Adam Doppler cannot awaken. There is no one who can help him, no one he can trust. But someone must find the truth, and the source of indemnity is going to come from the most unlikely hero....
