In a maelstrom of fists & dirt, Guy spoils the town’s plans in a good ol' fashioned brawl. Limping out of the scuffle in a blood-soaked stupor, he comes to find out this wasn’t the ticket out he was hoping for. The pain is mounting & his body is a clock ticking toward collapse. With enemies on every side, Guy seeks shelter in the last place he’d expect hospitality and takes the only option to ease some of his battle wounds — he ingests the town’s homemade drug. In a flurry of glowing revelations, Guy decides it might be time to try some religion.
