About this episode

Frank Tilley was not a nice man, nor one beloved by his community. He may even have been a pain in Sheriff Andy Hodge's buttocks. But no man deserved to die like that.

CW: Discussion of domestic violence.


Written and directed by Cam Collins

Narrated by Steve Shell

Sound design by Steve Shell

Produced by Cam Collins and Steve Shell

Intro music: "The Land Unknown," written and performed by Landon Blood
