Shroud follows a young woman's journey from Holland to the Civil War America in search of her missing husband. Having learned of her husband's peril in a lost town in the Old West, Lady Victoria Celestine (Nicole Leigh) withdraws from the funeral of her prestigious father to make a dangerous transatlantic journey. Arriving in the hidden town of Shroud, she unravels a dark 300-year old secret. The facts aren't entirely clear, and much has been marred by folklore and myth, but something that began with the 16th century expedition of the Spanish conquistador Francisco Coronado, has left a deep scar upon the native Apache who surround the ghost town of Shroud.

Mr. Jetre handled all aspects of design including, but not limited to: location scouting, sailing ships, art direction, production design, wardrobe, armor, props, firearms, graphic design (Victorian & Civil War indicia), printing, binding, carpentry, set design, and set decoration.
