In the fallout of the Lincoln County War, Billy the Kid tries to bury his past, but his past won’t let him go. After another round of rough justice, Billy has had a stomach full of lawmen and lawyers.  

With every gunfight and jailbreak, The Kid’s legend gains strength - a folk hero in the making. 

Can Billy outrun the long arm of the law... Perhaps not, but he’s willing to die trying. 

A Noiser production, written by Danny Marshall. With thanks to Michael Wallis, journalist, historian, and author of Billy the Kid: The Endless Ride.

This is Part 3 of 3.
