(PCM) The Retrieval, opening in theaters on a limited run starting April 2, follows a boy who is sent north by a bounty hunter gang to retrieve a wanted man on the outskirts of the Civil War.
The Retrieval follows a fatherless 13 year-old boy sent north by his bounty hunter gang on a dangerous mission to retrieve a wanted man under false pretense.
During their journey towards the unwitting man’s reckoning, the initially distant pair develops unexpected bonds. As his feelings grow, the boy is consumed by conflicting emotions and a gut-wrenching ultimate decision: betray the father figure he’s finally found or risk being killed by his gang for insubordination.
