“You are cordially invited to attend a weeklong gathering. The world, once exhilarating, has grown tedious. You were among the few who made life burn white-hot…”
The year is 1910. A peculiar group of scoundrels are summoned together—highwaymen, thieves, painted ladies, cowboys, and lawmen. Each has a passionate—and often dark—story to tell about their bold adventures in the volatile Wild West of the 1800’s. An unlikely band of misfits, they are called together by an unknown host and asked to share their most exciting, and incriminating, tales under the glow of Halley’s Comet. Just some of the guests invited are Gooch—the fastest man alive, Mika—lady outlaw, Shea, a man guilty of crimes of passion on widowed women after returning from the Civil War, Yost—the sharp-shooter, and Sourboot, a ruthless killer and meanest thing to ever crawl out of the devils hole in the black water swamps of Louisiana . Only one man seems to be connected to the strange assortment of characters—Pink, the Pinkerton Agent.
Pink is familiar with every person at the gathering. He has spent his life tracking and hunting those on the wrong side of the law—and he’s the best at his job.
The gathered have plenty of secrets to share, some that even the infamous Pink doesn’t know. Each person must try to make sense of the tangled web of disguises, lies, and mystery surrounding them all. As all take turns telling their stories around the campfire each night, one thing becomes clear: someone will not survive the week.
