Plot

[edit]

John Moon's wife recently took their son and left. Before John's father died, he was unable to pay the mortgage on the farm, and it was sold. John is depressed and an emotional wreck. He lives in poverty in rural West Virginia, feeding himself by hunting deer. While illegally stalking a deer with a shotgun on Nature Conservancy land, he accidentally shoots and kills a young woman. He then finds a box containing $100,000 in the abandoned van where she was hiding. He hides the woman's body in a shipping container.

During the following days, he attempts to reconcile with his wife. He contacts a local attorney to try to negotiate for his wife and son's return home and leaves the attorney several hundred dollars, drawing the attorneys' attention. John visits his son at his wife's apartment and interrupts the babysitter having sex with a recently released convict who has returned home. As he leaves he is threatened by a stranger who resents his glance.

John returns to his trailer and finds that someone has trashed it, apparently looking for the money. The dead girl's body is on his bed with a note. His wife shows up and wants to come inside and get her clothing, but John refuses. Later, while he is in his trailer, someone shoots and kills his dog. In another incident a rock wrapped in a note threatening his family is thrown through the trailer window. John suspects the ex-con is responsible for these events. He enters the ex-con's motel room and is interrupted by the ex-con's return. He hides in the louvered closet. The stranger from outside the diner arrives at the hotel room and asks the ex-con if he's "gotten the money back". The ex-con tells him that the woman who had the money has died and the stranger is furious. John sees him slit the ex-con's throat. The ex-con falls into the closet and sees John, but is unable to talk before he dies. John manages to avoid detection until the stranger leaves the hotel room. As John is leaving the hotel room, the phone rings. John picks up to hear the lawyer tell the ex-con that he needs to deal with John. John visits the attorney and threatens him with a pistol, trying to force him to reveal what he knows. All he learns is that his wife was concerned about where John got the money and wants to talk to him.

A friendly local girl brings John something to eat, and while they are eating outside, the radio in the trailer starts playing loudly. John goes inside to investigate, carrying a pistol. He hears the girl scream outside, and returns to find her held captive by the stranger. John is forced to discard his pistol and knife. The stranger asks John where the money is. John says he buried it nearby. The stranger tells him to go get it, but first cuts off John's right index finger and thumb, to be sure he can't use a weapon. John goes to his truck and gets a scoped rifle. Despite his wounds, he successfully kills the stranger. He takes the girl to town and returns to the trailer and a shed outside, which contains a freezer in which he has hidden the dead woman's body. He drags her body up the hill and digs a hole to bury her. Weakened by loss of blood, he's unable to get out of the hole. He pulls the girl′s body into the hole with him and looks up to see a deer looking down at him from the edge of the hole.

These elements create a claustrophobic atmosphere, blending psychological tension with the harsh realities of backwoods existence, reminiscent of noir traditions. Jones personally adapted his into the for the 2013 film, a process that marked the culmination of a roughly 17-year journey from initial publication to cinematic release, during which rights were secured around 2006 after years of development efforts.

Jones himself penned the screenplay, a process that took nearly three years and involved significant revisions to adapt the source material's noir elements for cinematic tension. By 2011, director David M. Rosenthal became attached to the project, drawn to its undertones after collaborating with producer Keith Kjarval on prior work; this marked Rosenthal's first directorial effort based on an external script.

It was released as a on September 17, 2013, by MovieScore Media and Kronos Records, featuring seven tracks with a total runtime of approximately 42 minutes. Key selections include "A Single Shot" (1:06), "The John Moon Variations: Movement 1 The Shot" (7:00), and "Remembering" (4:20), which underscore the narrative's psychological tension without overt plot cues. Critics noted the score's grim, slow-building string arrangements as enhancing the film's moody atmosphere. The featured songs in A Single Shot consist primarily of obscure and folk tracks from the 1960s and 1970s, selected to enhance the film's rural Appalachian atmosphere without relying on mainstream hits. These pre-existing recordings were licensed to underscore scenes of everyday tension and isolation, such as those involving driving or gatherings in local bars, contributing to the story's sense of gritty, backwoods authenticity.

These tracks, mostly from independent labels of the time, were chosen for their evocative simplicity, blending seamlessly with Atli Örvarsson's original score to amplify the film's moody tension.
