Wanted (2015 film)

Plot

Frank Garrett (Jay Crew) is a wealthy landowner who is in love with Joanna (Anikka Albrite), a prostitute. Garrett is sick and has a short time left to live, so he hands Joanna a copy of the deed to the north end of his ranch, along with a map. Garrett dies shortly after and Joanna is wrongfully accused of murdering and attempting to rob him by Sheriff Clayton (Steven St. Croix), who orders her to be hanged. 

The Sheriff did so because he wanted the deed she had inherited. Meanwhile, Dani (Stormy Daniels) arrives in Diablo City for a big poker tournament, where she intends to win enough money to help her friend Birdie (Amber Rayne) save the family ranch. Dani learns about Joanna's situation from Garrett’s assistant, Samuel (Eric Masterson), and Joanna’s friend, Lilah (Allie Haze), when the poker game is broken up by her rowdy arrest. Dani decides to save Joanna by engaging in a shootout with Sheriff Clayton and his posse, then fleeing the town with her. Morgan (Brendon Miller), a bounty hunter, arrives as Sheriff Clayton is asking for someone to apprehend them and agrees to help. 

Dani had previously robbed Morgan while she was working as a prostitute on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. When Morgan locates Dani, she makes a deal with him to split her share of whatever is found at Garrett’s ranch. Samuel returns home to retrieve the original deed for Garrett’s land and ask his wife Sally (Jodi Taylor) to hand it to Marshal Lane (Brad Armstrong) in Yuma. The pursuit concludes in a showdown between Dani, Sheriff Clayton, and their posses.
