Sary's Gold

Beautifully illustrated. Sary's Gold is a gritty tale, based off of true events surrounding a fresh young widow, who must change into a ruthless and determined goldminer just to survive in a hard scrabble existence, while battling a brutal town and one delusional saloon owner. Upon the untimely death of her young husband Sary is forced into her brother's charge. Neither is pleased with this arrangement, but it's the 1880s; women have no say. He is an impotent, sadistic dreamer with ideas of striking gold using his sister as his mule. Sary finds herself in a surreal nightmare… living under a tarp, panning for gold, and looked on lustfully by the debauched in the closest town - Big Bear. Her brutal attack by Delacorte’s spoiled son and his dumb as a plank, goon bodyguard, the accidental death of her brother in an abandoned mine shaft, the discovery of a gold vein as big as Texas… murder, surviving the hard scrabble land as winter comes and goes, Sary becomes a thing of legend and witchery and is hunted as fair game. Sary tries to exact her revenge in an ultimate showdown, not seen since High Noon.... Also available as a Feature script.
