*Logline*
A notorious Coyote and pawnshop owner squares off with a
brilliant ex-Border agent, only to find him an ally when Drug Lords, White
Supremacists and Corrupt Law Enforcement converge on his native land in the
wake of the Patriot Act.
*Synopsis*
Half-Mexican, half-Apache, HECTOR ALVAREZ, is a fifth-generation Arizonian
who owns *Dos Cabezas Antiques and Pawn*, in Ruby, Arizona. He is extremely
resourceful and has a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. His
half-sister, *YELLOW DEER *owns and manages *Crooked Sky Ranch*, a home and
school for orphaned Indian girls. She is the first of her family to attend
University and does research for Johns Hopkins. She and HECTOR are very
close and fiercely protective of those they care about and their way of
life.
*BENJAMIN LIGHTFOOT ROSS* is a white, tech-savvy, ex-CBP agent who was
framed by his colleagues and discharged from duty. He has parked his fifth
wheel trailer in the foothills near Ruby, seeking exoneration. He has an
agreement with the governor, that in exchange for collaring HECTOR, the
most successful Coyote in history, he will be pardoned and recommended for
appointment as US Marshall. He has a brilliant plan and will do anything to
see it through.
*AMBER SOAMES, aka **"**PRINCESS**,"* is married to *ENOCH SOAMES*,
President of the Aryan Brotherhood. He is currently serving a life sentence
in San Quentin State Prison. PRINCESS and their son, *JEFFERSON DAVIS
(JD), *moved to Arizona and bought *Minutemen Shooting Range and Gun
Club* which
sits directly across the parking lot from HECTOR’S pawnshop.
*HALE CARSON *is the Sheriff of Santa Cruz County. He is competent and has
served four consecutive terms. He is a friend and ex-colleague of BENJAMIN
ROSS. His relationship with HECTOR is one of guarded respect and a tendency
to look the other way.
In the Pilot Episode, HECTOR and five Native Indians are detained in a
CBP/DEA sting operation lead by BRADY TALLENT, a corrupt Border Agent.
BENJAMIN ROSS leaves a dog with an implanted listening device in his truck
in front of HECTOR’S shop. PRINCESS and JD SOAMES work on their own
strategy to neutralize HECTOR while SHERIFF CARSON tries to keep the
fragile peace in Santa Cruz County. The end shows HECTOR looking through
binoculars at BRADY TALLENT’S uniformed corpse in a cotton field.
Welcome to Ruby, the new hot-bed of corruption and violence in the
Southwest.
