SIXKILLER

SIXKILLER
By Jerry Robbins

GENRE: Western
LOGLINE:

As poisoned whiskey leaves a trail of dead across Indian Territory, a Cherokee U.S. Marshal must hunt those responsible -- while caught between a government that barely tolerates him and a people who no longer trust him.

SYNOPSIS:

In the rugged heart of Indian Territory, 1880s, U.S. Marshal Sam Sixkiller — a Cherokee lawman caught between two worlds — is sent to investigate a series of suspicious deaths near Muskogee. What begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into a deeper, deadlier conspiracy when Sam discovers a batch of poisoned whiskey has been killing Native men across the territory.

With his trusted deputy Hobbs Buckner by his side, Sam begins to follow a trail of silence, lies, and bootlegged liquor that leads him through hostile towns, corrupt sheriffs, and his own people's simmering distrust. As more bodies drop — Native and white alike — Sam realizes the poison isn’t an accident. Someone is deliberately targeting the tribes, and they’ve covered their tracks well.

When Sam uncovers proof that a respected lawman is behind the killings, it sends shockwaves through both sides of the law. But the man pulling the strings has powerful allies — and an agenda that goes deeper than revenge or profit.

Sam must navigate shifting allegiances, face betrayal from within the badge, and rely on instinct alone to survive. With his rifle steady and his honor intact, he’ll ride into the fire — not just to deliver justice, but to stop a quiet genocide no one else dares to confront.
