In a walk across Texas, the greatest distance is between two brothers.
SYNOPSIS:
BEAUMONT 23
EL PASO 857
Challenged by that tall green Texas road sign, Casey Cannon sets out on foot across the giant state. He walks to forget discovering his mother's affair. Dustin Cannon can only drop his head and follow to protect his younger brother.
Casey makes the ladies love him and never backs down from a fight. Whereas Casey shoots from the hip, Dustin is nothing but a straight-shooter.
The brothers take on every bull ride, barbecue, and barfight along the way. Shot along the highways and back roads of Texas, Coyote Funeral makes Texas as much a character as a setting. Whether or not Casey and Dustin make it to El Paso will depend less on braving the elements than surviving each other.
An original song from Coyote Funeral, sung by Casey Cannon.
