His lover Juliette (Caplan) learns his body is being held by "The Bruja" (de Pablo), a witch who runs the town's brothel.

But when Shepherd learns through his contacts that Juliette plans to trade Champ for Ransom's corpse, a livid Early heads south to Mexico himself.

On their journey to Mexico, Champ and Juliette gradually grow closer and encounter several strange travelers, including a circus troupe.

After they have outwitted and killed Shepherd's two bounty hunters, Juliette confesses her true intentions to Champ, who proposes that they work together to steal Ransom's body from the Bruja.

The Last Rites of Ransom Pride was filmed in Canada in September 2009 in Calgary, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia, on a budget of $8,000,000.
