Who Will Survive

Inspired by the music of Murder By Death, Who Will Survive tells the story of Jack who's decision to shoot the Devil in the back has long reaching repercussions for a small town. While the Devil plot's his revenge on anyone and everyone, Jack and the townsfolk must prepare for action while fighting off their own demons. It's a tale of sinners and saints, good and evil and a lot of whiskey.

It's late in the night at Bart's Saloon, a seedy hangout on the outskirts of small town. The drinks are flowing, patrons are laughing and the Devil himself is at the center of attention. The night seems set to end without conflict until three gun shots ring out and leave the Devil a bloody mess, just a few steps from making his exit. Jack didn't know he would be pulling the trigger when he entered the bar that night, but he felt justified in his actions as he made his way out the back door of Bart's. What Jack could not have known, is that the Devil's idea of revenge is far deeper, far crueler and more far fetched that anything he could imagine. One man's actions will reverberate throughout a seemingly innocent town and everyone will be forced to fight off their demons, those which haunt them internally as well as externally.
