Adapted from the best-selling books from CJ Box, Joe Pickett (Michael Dorman) is the new game warden of Saddlestring, WY, a town as beautiful and charming as it is corrupt and dangerous. When a local poacher turns up murdered in his backyard, Joe decides to investigate it himself to keep his wife and young daughters safe, but instead discovers secrets that put them all in mortal danger. Meanwhile, his wife Marybeth (Julianna Guill) must return to her retired legal skills to protect her husband and help reveal the truth.

One year after the events of Season 1, Joe is reinstated as the Twelve Sleep County Game Warden, but now faces a new task, in which hunters are being hunted by a serial killer in the Wyoming wilderness. Even more, just as hunting season is approaching, a radicalized animal rights group is descending upon Saddlestring and wreaking havoc. As Joe investigates the serial killings, he discovers that these killings are neither random nor for sport.
