The Coffeyville Two-Step

Logline:
In the days leading up to the infamous Coffeyville bank raid, the Dalton Gang—fractured by love, pride, and bad judgment—attempts the impossible: robbing two banks at once, only to collide with a town that refuses to be a victim and a fate they can no longer outrun.

Synopsis:
In 1892 Coffeyville, Kansas, as the Dalton Gang edges toward its fatal plan to rob two banks at once, the women closest to them see the truth long before the men do. Flo and Rose watch confidence harden into recklessness, love blur into denial, and loyalty becomes a trap. While the outlaws convince themselves that one last job can secure a future, the women measure the cost—of staying, of leaving, of speaking when no one wants to listen. As the town quietly prepares to defend itself, the robbery collapses into chaos, leaving the women to bear the consequences of choices they warned against but could not stop.

The Coffeyville Two-Step is a Western tragedy told through the clarity of the women who understand what’s coming, are powerless to prevent it, but who are smart enough to find – and take – a silver lining.
