In a context where the struggle for the earth becomes a metaphor for the deepest feelings, the new “Ransom Canyon” series revives the western genre. Inspired by Jodi Thomas’ novels, the series brings us into the fiery heart of Texas Hill Country, in a hard and enchanting landscape, where passions, betrayals and loyalty live in a fierce struggle for survival and love. A saga that wants to be, together, classic and modern, played by a cast that includes Josh Duhamel, James Brolin, Jack Schumacher and Garrett Wareing.
Ransom Canyon: the plot
We are in a world where the dynasties of families of breeders compete for the control of vast territories and the power that derives from it. At the center of the story we find Staten Kirkland, a rancher with a impassive soul marked by the pain of a troubled past and pushed by the desire for revenge. The Double K Ranch is his kingdom, and Staten finds himself in a continuous battle against external forces that threaten the traditional way of life in his texas corner. But the story does not only speak of struggles for the earth and a radius of light lights up in the darkest moments: Quinn O’grady, a dear longtime friend of the family and owner of the dancehall club, embodies the promise of a new beginning. In the faces of contrasting colors of the characters and in the pages of their history, love clashes with the desire to protect what you love. Meanwhile, a mysterious lone cowboy arrives in the area, whose appearance brings buried secrets and questioned the fragile balance of a world where every tradition seems destined to clash with innovation. And so Staten must confront his inner demons and with a truth that could destroy everything he fought for.
