Experiencing Interruptions?

The Cowboy

A man is sent to deliver a suitcase to an abandoned shack in the desert. He walks in to find that everyone has been killed except one -- a man he has never met before. The man introduces himself as 'Mister Sharp', not to be confused with Mr. Sharp.

We are drawn into a prickly conversation between these two distrusting men as it unfolds into a story. Through a series of flash backs we are taken through the life of ‘The Cowboy’, a mysterious man who is known for brutal massacre's all over the Mexico / USA border. Mister Sharp is skeptical that such a man exists, but is 'The Cowboy' an exaggerated myth or a true legend?
