The Southwest of Heaven

Texas, 1924 -- Willis Young, son of the legendary Old West bankrobber Wilson Young, is back from France, a broken man. A World War I flying ace, he has seen enough killing and destruction to last him a lifetime. He has lost his zest for life. Willis is reunited with his former mechanic, now a prosperous wildcat oil driller, and the two set out on a crazy scheme to drill for oil on Willis's land -- 200,000 acres of the most worthless soil in the hell on earth that is West Texas. But then the well strikes water -- and Willis undergoes a transformation that changes not only his life, but the lives of everyone around him.
