Retribution
Description
A husband and wife with dark secrets want to leave their small Idaho town behind. They tell people about a mine full of gold to get money from them, but their lies start falling apart when a doubtful woman wants part of the treasure and the local sheriff and his helper start looking into what the Gastons are really up to. When they make one last desperate move that sets off an explosion in the mine, real gold comes out and changes what happens to the whole town.
In a remote Idaho town, a couple scarred by past misdeeds dream of escape. Their tales of a gold-rich mine lure investors, but their deception threatens to unravel when a skeptical woman demands a share of the loot and the sheriff and his deputy begin to probe the Gastons' story. When a final gambit ignites the mine, true gold emerges, reshaping the town's future.
