Writer Statement

After killing her dealer husband and stealing a suitcase full of heroin, violence and mayhem follow Martha Cooper as she makes a highway escape across the Salt Flats of Utah. A merciless killer in her rearview and miles of danger ahead, Martha struggles to free herself from the tyranny that a family of career criminals has held on her life.

DELTA is best described as having the roots-infused noir of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN combined with the high-octane intensity of DUEL.

As Martha speeds toward Delta, she plays a game of cat and mouse with Samuel, a killer-for-hire with a penchant for flamboyance and grandeur. Martha is met with challenges both physical and spiritual, and will ultimately use her stolen goods to gain access to Uncle Alpheus, the man with whom she seeks to settle her ultimate score.
