Salt of the King

Mayhem at the Desert's Edge




It's 1972. A former '60s pop star arrives in a small West Texas town, desperate to make a comeback record at a tiny music studio run by an eccentric producer. With determination and gall, but very little budget, he cobbles together a ragtag band of local musicians.




Meanwhile, a young female filmmaker is in town trying to make a documentary about an unsolved disappearance. Getting zero police cooperation and running out of time, she decides, instead, to make her film about the little studio and the struggling musician.




The projects soon fall into turmoil, beset by insanity, supernatural events, and untimely death. In the midst of this madness, all they can do is press "RECORD" and roll tape.
