Where the series aims to seek revenge a century across our nation’s history, it also brings invigorating new shades to the Western genre by seeing our past for what it was – deeply conflicted and imperfect in so many ways. But it’s the passage of time, both in the arduously lengthy hunt for revenge and the exploration of the contradictory nature of the past, where we speak to our larger thematic explorations on social injustice, the sins of our ancestors, and the complexity of revenge.

Within the framework of a fireside tall tale we travel with The Man as he methodically pursues his murderers, settling the score one by one, in search of his own liberation. Though thanks to the head start his killers use to disperse across a burgeoning continent, The Man spends days, months and many years changing identities from town to town, both in hunt of his targets and in hiding from the law.

Nights are spent in excruciating pain while following an inner compass that guides The Man towards his killers’ locations and bringing death with him for any ne’er-do-well that stands in his way.

And over time, these six outlaws learn The Man is more than a person, he is your haunted past that relentlessly follows you. Always in the back of your mind, he is legend. The secret guilt personified that will catch up to you a little further down the trail. So don’t get too comfortable.
