SYNOPSIS:
The Shadow of the Deadmanâs Daughter is a brutal, lyrical psychological horror-western about the cost of vengeance and the ghosts we choose to carry.
Mercy Boone rides across a scorched frontier, marked by blood and betrayal. Armed with a cursed ledger and haunted by the voice of her dead fatherâan outlaw hanged for crimes she was raised to avengeâshe hunts the men who stole her familyâs land and left her mother to die. But as Mercy cuts through her enemies one by one, a deeper truth begins to unravel: her father wasnât a victim⊠he was the architect of her motherâs ruin.
As Mercyâs sanity frays and the line between memory and possession blurs, sheâs forced to reckon with the darkness she inheritedâand decide whether to become the monster she was raised to fear⊠or break the cycle before it consumes her completely.
Visceral, poetic, and emotionally charged, The Shadow of the Deadmanâs Daughter is a ghost story without ghostsâa slow-burn revenge tale where trauma is the real haunting, and survival means choosing what parts of the past are worth saving.
