Synopsis

A body is found in the desert shortly before Yuma County's rodeo festival week. It appears to be Ria Paris, who was apparenlty murdered by her husband 16 years ago - except the body isn't that old. Together with his ambitious new colleague Paul McCraw, Sheriff Kyle re-investigates the old case, trying to avoid shaking up the community during the celebrations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
