American serial killers weren't limited to the 20th or 21st centuries; the Old West was a time of widespread lawlessness. This documentary explores the dark history of North America’s mountains, prairies, and deserts, where figures like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin, and the infamous Kentucky cannibal left a disturbing trail of victims. Delving into the origins of evil, the film examines the ruthlessness of these killers and the brutal reality of life in the Old West.
