**Danny Winn** is a dynamic and intuitive actor whose talent has garnered attention both nationally and on the brink of international acclaim. This spring, he showcases his range in two significant film roles.

In this film, Danny plays the complex character of Happy Jim, a Faro dealer entangled in themes of love, jealousy, and survival in the Old West.
