ABOUT BRIMSTONE:

Brimstone is a suspenseful tale of guilt and retribution that unfolds in America at the end of the 19th century.

A dark, violent and epic western/thriller about a young woman (and her family) whose lives change drastically when a new preacher comes to town. The story, told in four chapters, shows us how the young woman has to fight for her life and those of her loved ones, but also portrays the horrible past that led up to these events.
