User Reviews

An ex-con is on the move just to protect his kid.

Andy Moon a former gunslinger and ex-convict shoots a young man in self defense in a town controlled by a family of the name Coleman. The person that Moon shot is a family member of the Coleman's. Even with a gunshot wound to his shoulder, Moon is told to run because the Coleman's will be looking for him soon. Moon gets his twelve year old son and starts running.

He ends up at McCain's farm where Moon tells the entire story. He says that his son does not know of his past and wants to keep his sins from overshadowing his son's life. But it is not long before the Coleman brothers are in North Fork looking for Moon. They are bound to find him at any cost.

A simple story that was very well written. Acting was fine and the plot interesting. Another fine moral story that is great for viewers.
