Screenplay Synopsis:
: In the 1770’s Massachusetts Bay colony, Freedman Doctor Cassian Frost witnesses the murder of his cousin Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre. Filled with a deep hatred for his Redcoat killers, Cassian swears an oath to avenge his cousin’s death. The deal he makes to see that oath become a reality forever changes his life.
With a foot planted firmly in two worlds, Cassian must balance his life as a Loyalist doctor with that of his supernatural life as the demonic brigand The Scarecrow. With his best friend riding at his side, The Scarecrow and The Wolf have been striking fear into Loyalists and soldiers alike. But Brigade Commander Colonel William Tremaine has a plan. He releases the fury of his most trusted assassin – the Hessian Andreas Rall – directing him to discover the identities of the masked highwaymen and to kill them.
As the chase ensues, it seems destined to be one that concludes when – after having lost everything – Cassian must battle Rall in a duel that will see one of them dead.
