Thompson is a sorrowful tale set in the early 1900s American Southwest, about the doomed romance between societal lady Isola and Tigre, a feared man living outside the law. It shows their extreme connection surrounded by themes of loss, tough choices, and life outside the rules when Isola's father, Nuñez Pico, passes away during a dangerous storm which sets the stage for Tigre's dramatic act: kidnapping Isola, driven by his deep but harmful obsession.

This exploration of the West dives into profound feelings and difficult questions of right and wrong.
