Through flashbacks, we discover our weathered Cowboy grew up in an isolated cabin with his drunken and volatile parents as his only interactions.
Through flashbacks, we discover our weathered Cowboy grew up in an isolated cabin with his drunken and volatile parents as his only interactions. At that time, he was powerless to change anything about his situation so as he grew, he became hyper-vigilant, a watcher, a thinker.

When he was fifteen, he heard an “in the house” gunshot which woke him out of a sound sleep. He had learned over the years that if it concerned him, they’d come and get him so, he rolled over and went back to sleep. The house remained absolutely quiet for about an hour and then he heard his bedroom door hinges creak open. What happened next is the secret he would keep for 60 years but, keep watching, it is about to be revealed.
