Written by Sean Bridgers (Paradise Falls), ARKANSAS TRAVELER is a Faustian western set in the dark, waning days of the American Civil war.  

Wayland McGlawhorn is a captured Confederate soldier who, with the help of the enigmatic John Bones, escapes from the infamous Rock Island prison camp and embarks on a treacherous journey home to Arkansas to rejoin the wife and family he left behind.

Dressed in the clothes of a carpetbagger, whose suicide he witnessed, Wayland travels the back roads of the war-torn South--a world filled with danger and corruption--which provides very little opportunity for him to cool his guns and mend his violent, tortured soul. Along the way, he rescues fellow wanderers: Myrtle, a wilted flower living in a hell of forced prostitution; and Traveler, a slave liberator; both of whom end up joining Wayland’s travels.

In the tradition of "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Unforgiven," Arkansas Traveler is gritty, compelling and employs authentically written characters locked in a struggle between sacrifice and reward in a world gone mad.
