Synopsis
A charismatic Chabad rabbi in the High Desert unexpectedly becomes a gunslinger after a fierce attack on his close-knit community. Rabbi Mo Zaltzman (Mark Feuerstein) abhors violence, but when his synagogue is riddled with bullets and a congregant assaulted, he reluctantly steps in as a protector. Guided by a Holocaust survivor (Christopher Lloyd) with a shadowed past and a veteran mayor (Neal McDonough), Mo converts into an improbable hero. Confronting enemies and moral dilemmas, Mo’s pursuit tests his faith and resilience, unraveling a larger conspiracy. Inspired by real events, this tongue-in-cheek, neo-Western thriller fuses intense action with a striking aesthetic, redefining the Jewish hero and challenging the myth of redemptive violence.
