Outer Range plot

Outer Range follows Royal Abbott, where he and his family are dealing with the disappearance of their daughter-in-law Rebecca, while an untimely death in the community shakes everyone.

The official synopsis teases that it is "a thrilling fable with hints of wry humor and supernatural mystery", adding "Outer Range examines how we grapple with the unknown. At the onset of the series, the Abbotts are coping with the disappearance of daughter-in-law Rebecca."

It continues: "They are pushed further to the brink when the Tillersons (the gaudy owners of the neighboring profit-driven ranch) make a play for their land. An untimely death in the community sets off a chain of tension-filled events, and seemingly small-town, soil-bound troubles come to a head with the arrival of a mysterious black void in the Abbotts’ west pasture. Wild revelations unfold as Royal fights to protect his family; through his eyes, we begin to see how time contains secrets held in the past and unsettling mysteries foreshadowed."
