Billy finally finds a happy home amongst the cowboys and saloons of Lincoln County, New Mexico. But his newfound peace is about to be shattered. Caught up in a bloody turf war, 'The Kid' must choose a side. In the Wild West the difference between outlaw and lawful citizen can be hard to see. Sometimes it’s just a matter of luck. And Billy is in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fallout will go down in history.

A Noiser production, written by Danny Marshall. With thanks to Michael Wallis, journalist, historian, and author of Billy the Kid: The Endless Ride.

This is Part 2 of 3.
