BOSS

A pair of bounty hunters — Boss, a former slave who take his freedom by force, and his loyal sidekick Amos — scour the landscape in pursuit of Ged Layton, a white fugitive with a substantial price on his head. Knowing that Layton often hides out in San Miguel, a small town in the Wild West, Boss and Amos ride in and quietly take their place among the mostly white inhabitants. Awaiting their prey, they see that San Miguel seethes with corruption, a compromised mayor, and oppressed black community and, more than anything, no law. Boss thus decides to pin the sheriff’s badge over his own heart and make Amos his deputy. They’re going to bring a little law and order to the town, and dispense a few lessons in human decency before they collect the reward for Layton.
