High Noon is an action-packed rollercoaster ride of epic shoot-outs, emotional character development, and hilarity. Taking place in the Old West, every episode will follow our three main characters: Styx, Lenny, and Atticus a.k.a. Bigfoot, on a fun-filled ride as they attempt to be something they're horrible at... Outlaws. Though one thing is for sure, they can grow the shit out of the Old West's newest intoxicant... Weed.
Like most Old West tales, trouble will either ride into town or the boys will ride out of town and find themselves in a world of problems. At every turn, the boys will be faced with conflict from their past or from the ever-changing ways of the Old West. Money-hungry bureaucrats, the law, the headmistress of the local brothel, and each other are just a few examples of where we'll find conflict. Remember, our Old West is a place where Bigfoot, UFOs, and El Chupacabra are real, so the episodic possibilities are endless.
At its core, High Noon is about three Old West Outlaws who want the same thing every man, woman, child, and cryptid wants. To belong. They just happen to be loveable disasters.
Originating from the Dominion of Canada, Styx, a.k.a. The Saskatoon Slayer, is a man of many cultures. Having been on the run after an assassination gone wrong, Styx has created a name for himself as an aceshooter from coast to coast; the only problem is, he can’t shoot for shit without a little weed in him.
Ice cold in his demeanor, nothing seems to faze Styx, except for how crazy his cohort, Lenny, seems to make him. Unable to live with the fact that he tarnished his own legacy with the botched assassination, Styx is determined to go down in history with this weed-growing motley crew as the muscle of the operation. He claims he wants to lay down his guns and live the simple life, but whether it’s the thrill of it all or the sheer joy of killing a man in cold blood, Styx just can’t seem to lay down his weapons. (Disclaimer: The creators of this series do not condone killing a man in cold blood!!!)
Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Lenny has conned his way across the Old West, burning every bridge he's ever come upon. His quick wit and cunning have made him a dangerous man, double-crossing every two-bit hustler he's ever met. This man has had so many identities, he's like a walking, talking identity crisis. He's even forgotten his own last name, so his drive for making a name for himself as the #1 con-man is insatiable.
Lenny ain't much of a shot, but you'll surely want to shoot yourself after 10 minutes alone with him. He's the salesman of the operation and will definitely talk his way into some business, but along with it will come an endless supply of trouble.
It may be hard to believe, but this is no ordinary bearded man; he's the semi-mystical creature known as Bigfoot, who has mastered the art of disguise. His name is Atticus, and he was born in a majestic forest, which is why he has an innate ability to connect with plant and animal life.
Atticus has led a sheltered life and isn't often accepted in society. Styx and Lenny were the first to accept him for who he is, which is why he's painfully loyal. Fuck with them, and you'll see a side of Bigfoot you can only read about in the old-timey tribunes.
Level-headed and intelligent, Atticus is the brains of the operation and often serves as a mediator between Styx and Lenny. His understanding of not only the medicinal benefits but also the societal benefits of what he calls "marijuana" is the driving force behind his desire to spread the knowledge of the peaceful plant. Or it's because he desperately wants to be accepted into society: one or the other.
Meet Julia Darling, the headmistress of the local brothel, Julia's House of Harlots.
Growing up on the streets of New York and pickpocketing her way through life made Julia the perfect shapeshifter. From day to day, her intentions remain a mystery. Will she help the boys, or will she fuck them over? No one knows. However, one thing is certain: Lenny can't stand Julia. Her perilous cunning makes Lenny question his ability as a two-bit hustler.
The only thing Julia likes more than money is a big, hairy cowboy, so she’s always ready to sink her teeth into Atticus. Their relationship will have you wondering: Will they or won't they? And even if they did... how? He's so big and she's so... Ew!
