The Abandons Season 1

The show will deal with the origins of La Cosa Nostra (the Italian-American Mafia) and is set around 1850 in a post-Gold Rush, pre-Civil War time around a small cattle town where a natural resource is discovered. While most ranchers in the area sell out or are forced out, one group of Sicilian peasant families won’t sell and band together to defend themselves from abusive land barons. Choices are made and lines are drawn first in the sand, and then in blood as they become outlaws in a time well before all the outlaws we know like Jesse James and Billy the Kid.
