Tom's dick that Harry wants

A John Waters themed story line. In 1800s Dodge City, a cantankerous cowboy named Tom wakes up in his dusty homestead 60 years after his 30th birthday, only to discover his lifelong friend Harry has been caring for—and secretly craving—him all this time. As memories return and twisted truths unravel, the two must confront a lifetime of love, lust, and grotesque betrayal in a panic-stricken ride through the filthiest frontier ever filmed.

In the dust-choked gutters of 1800s Dodge City, Tom Riddlehorn—a once-dashing cowboy with a moustache like a raccoon’s tail—wakes up on his crusty mattress, confused, creaky, and covered in cobwebs. It's been sixty years since his 30th birthday, and the only thing stiffer than his joints is the tension in the air.

Limping around the musty shack that time forgot, Tom discovers Harry, his longtime "best friend" (emphasis on long and hard), snoring peacefully in the next room like nothing ever happened. But something did happen. Oh boy, something grotesquely sexual, profoundly disturbing, and shockingly tender.

As Tom questions the decades lost, Harry—sweaty, smiling, and unnervingly proud—drops a truth bomb bigger than a buffalo fart: he’s been keeping Tom company all these years. Intimately. Lovingly. Obscenely. And with the dedication of a perverted pioneer Martha Stewart.

What follows is a whirlwind of dusty flashbacks, molasses-thick guilt, and deranged affection as Tom spirals into a campy meltdown of frontier panic, accidental arousal, and reluctant self-discovery. Is this love? Is this crime? Is this just what happens when two lonely cowboys are left unsupervised for six decades?

A fever dream of lust, trust, and involuntary thrust, “Sixty Years a Sleepin’” is a depraved Western that asks: What if Brokeback Mountain was written by a drunk necrophiliac with a sense of humor?

It’s love. It’s wrong. It’s the Old West like you’ve never seen it—horny, horrifying, and hilariously human.
