Son of Django

Set in the late 19th-century American West, a period marked by expansion, territorial disputes, and frontier justice. The landscape affords few laws beyond personal codes and vigilante action. Gunfights, saloons, and horse theft are routine expressions of the harsh environment.

The story unfolds in the rough frontier of the Topeka Territory, a dusty setting where ranchers and outlaws vie for leverage. Power centers around the largest cattle operations and the men who work for them, often through intimidation and show of force. Feuds and gunplay define daily life, shaping loyalties and the town's uneasy balance.
