SYNOPSIS: In the 1860s, a group of 200 men stormed across the border of Missouri. They descended into Lawrence, Kansas and killed every man they could find. They burned the buildings to the ground and as Kitty Mae watched in horror, they gunned down her twelve-year-old son. Unable to see anything but revenge, Kitty Mae abandoned what was left of her life and went on the trail, tracking down and killing every man involved with the taking of her son’s life.

RED BIRD picks up with Kitty Mae (Alexandra Goodman) hunting down a gang of thieves led by the man who had looted her home and stolen her son’s belongings. Heading back to Kansas, she tracks down a tailor and his wife (played by Armin Shimerman and Kitty Swink) who hold the key to finding Bloody Bill. She must evade her estranged husband turned bounty hunter (Ian Stark) and her gun- wielding father (Michael McShane), before finally confronting Bloody Bill himself (John Prosky). But her final act of revenge is not the end of this story, as Bloody Bill’s twelve-year-old daughter starts her own quest to exact revenge on Kitty Mae.
