Sunset Road

By: Robert Ryan

Narrated by: Robert Ryan

Jake McCarthy and Peter Grayson are next-door neighbors who have been friends since childhood. Although they are all but brothers, their respective life experiences have given them dramatically different worldviews. Peter is a well-paid computer technician, constantly trying to improve his material lot in life at the behest of his gold-digging girlfriend. Jake is a bounty hunter who is utterly indifferent to the people and the world around him. Each man recognizes the shortcomings in his friend’s life without acknowledging the problems in his own—until Jake saves a mutual childhood friend in a roadside gunfight. Upon reflection, the two men determine that the most expedient way to right the wrongs in their mediocre lives is to rob a local insurance company. As their scheme unfolds, problems arise when the vengeful family of the men Jake killed comes after him in pursuit of old-west style vigilante justice. Set in contemporary Helena, Montana.
