That Texas Blood (2020-)

The search for a borrowed casserole dish on Sheriff Joe Bob Coates’ seventieth birthday leads to a dark and tense confrontation in the scrubland. The old lawman’s routine errand in Ambrose County uncovers a violence that has been festering just beneath the surface. The quiet of the Texas plains is broken by a threat that disregards age and authority. Coates is forced to reckon with a brutality that his badge can no longer politely contain. The dust settles on a different kind of birthday, marked by the cold weight of a pistol and the distant cry of a hawk.
