Bad Company

"They're young, desperate, dangerous—a long way from home, but a short way from Hell."

After Drew Dixon, an upright young man, is sent west by his religious family to avoid being drafted into the Civil War, he drifts across the land with a loose confederation of young vagrants.

Plot

A group of naive boys find that life as desperadoes in the west is more serious than they understood when they embark on abortive careers in bushwhacking. Violence, betrayal, sombre colours and a Beckettsian whimsy mark this ironic western.
