Based on a true story, Hard Twisted is a chilling tale of survival and redemption, and a young girl''s coming of age in a world as cruel as it is beautiful.

Lucile Garrett is just thirteen when she meets Clint Palmer, a charismatic stranger who will forever change her life. The year is 1934, and as the windblown dust of the Great Depression rakes the Oklahoma plains, Palmer offers Lucile and her father, homeless and hungry, the irresistible promise of a better future.

But when they follow Palmer to Texas, Lucile''s father mysteriously disappears, launching man and girl on an epic journey through the American Southwest: a spree of violence and murder that culminates in one of the most celebrated criminal trials of the era.
