The story follows the long friendship between widower Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), who is a wealthy and prominent local rancher, and local dance hall owner Quinn O’Grady (Minka Kelly), a former New York City concert pianist who has returned to her small hometown for reasons we do not know.
Their relationship dates back to high school, and while it borders on romantic at times, and both parties have longstanding feelings for each other, they still remain just friends … at least, as the show begins.
Kirkland is also fighting off unwanted interest from an energy company that wants to acquire his Double K Ranch.
They are also leaning hard on local business owners, and some of the town’s biggest moneyed interests are on their side — including Kirkland’s father, Samuel Kirkland, a powerful man who uses his position as a senator to help push through his economic agendas for the town.
