Fireball
Directed by TK James
There’s a storm brewing in the Wild West, and bounty hunter Fireball seeks refuge in the wall of the Silver Spoon- a saloon owned and operated by Valentine, Beau and Eloise. Eloise takes an interest in Fireball, and repeatedly attempts to connect with her throughout the busy night, only to be brushed off as Fireball notices a familiar face across the bar: the outlaw Jeremiah Ray. Tensions rise throughout the night as Fireball watches him drink more and more, until a violent outburst at Eloise sets everyone on guard. Now with their lives and safety on the line, Fireball and Eloise work together to take him down and once again make the Silver Spoon a refuge from the danger outside.
