The Life and Death of Bayou Billy

0/5 ( ratings)

When William ‘Bayou Billy’ McCall, an infamous outlaw, dies at an old age, he leaves behind a mixed history of anti-heroism and immorality in the form of legends and tall tales. Two towns that he lived in immediately begin to bicker over which one will get to bury the notorious criminal, thus achieving the prominence and revenue that goes with the burial. Pascal Waterford, mayor of Sawdust City, Texas, is cheered by Bayou Billy’s death. The reward of tourism from the outlaw’s death will gain them monies that the nearly destitute town desperately needs. Ophelia Rector, a prominent citizen of Albie, Louisiana, is also jockeying for control of Bayou Billy’s remains and is obsessive about putting the outlaw in her family’s cemetery. Both Pascal and Ophelia will fight to the bitter end to discover how low each can sink in order to obtain the rights to a rotting corpse of a dislikeable man whose fame was more prestigious than the man himself. God help anyone who gets in their way.

Release: August 24, 2010
