Joe is a suburban convenience store clerk with big dreams of becoming a cowboy. After packing his boots and moving to South Texas to learn from the real deal, Joe’s ideal of the mythic cowboy is shattered when he finds himself holed up in a town that survives on a human smuggling trade. His beliefs turned upside down, Joe is ready for anything when approached by a mysterious fugitive offering help and advice. An epic, twisting, heartfelt ride through the immigration dilemma, Cowboy Smoke forces its characters to come to their own terms with right and wrong and, ultimately, what it means to be a cowboy.

Inspired by legendary guitar player Hank Garland, Crazy is a story of musical genius, passion, and betrayal. Emerging from the Nashville in the 50's, Hank had established his brilliant playing in country, rock and jazz. But his adversarial relationship with the Nashville Mob - those who controlled the music industry - caused him to be seen as a trouble maker. From fighting for artist's rights, to bringing black, jazz musicians into the restricted, southern music culture, Hank refused to compromise his pursuit for excellence.
