Billy's pardon

Billy's Pardon is a western drama about Billy, a young ranch hand who, after killing a local bully in self-defense wants to flee from the backlash and goes on the run to start a new life. But when convicted for the murder of the Sheriff, a crime he didn't commit, he has to find a way to clear his name. This becomes impossible because Wallace, the governor hell bent on rising in power, is opposing Billy by doing everything he can to tarnish Billy's name and make him a scapegoat to his own means. Billy now has to escape his own false reputation as Billy the Kid, the nefarious outlaw. He gets even more desperate as an old friend, Pat Garrett, who Wallace made into the new Sheriff, hunts him down. Billy will have to work hard to stay true and not fall into the persona of what society thinks of him. Will he be cleared or condemned for the murder and various other crimes he didn't commit?
