In a dusty nowhere town of the Nevada desert, a stranded drifter wins an ancient hourglass in a late-night card game, unaware that it carries a violent, soul-hungry curse. As the sand inside begins to fall, the object twists his mind and forces him toward unspeakable acts, feeding on the lives it consumes. With time running out and the line between fate and possession blurring, he must confront the evil now living inside him before the hourglass claims his soul entirely. A folk-horror western about isolation, temptation, and the cost of borrowed time.
