From Executive Producer David Milch (NYPD Blue) and Producer / Director Davis Guggenheim (Alias, 24) comes Deadwood, a new drama series that focuses on the birth of an American frontier town and the ruthless power struggle that exists in its lawless boundaries.
The story begins two weeks after Custer's defeat at Little Big Horn, combining fictional and real-life characters and events in an epic morality tale. Located in the Black Hills, South Dakota, the "town" of Deadwood is an illegal settlement, a violent, lawless and uncivilized outpost that attracts a colourful array of characters looking to get rich — from outlaws and entrepreneurs to ex-soldiers and racketeers, Chinese labourers, prostitutes, city dudes and gunfighters.
Into this uncivilized outpost ride a disillusioned and bitter ex-lawman, Wild Bill Hickok, and Seth Bullock, a man hoping to find a new start for himself. Both men find themselves quickly on opposite sides of the legal and moral fence from Al Swearengen, saloon owner, hotel operator, and incipient boss of Deadwood. The lives of these three intertwine with many others, the high-minded and the low-lifes who populate Deadwood in 1876. |
