Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Dark Winds or Sons of Anarchy, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 12 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Lines will be crossed when tragedy forces two men, a mesmerizing ex-con and an embattled local cop, to face the secrets of their past. As these two men find themselves increasingly compromised by one another, the lives of both quickly unravel.
