"Eight years after he's left Kentucky, Givens is now based in Miami, balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. A chance encounter on a Florida highway sends him to Detroit and he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent sociopath who's already slipped through the fingers of Detroit's finest once and wants to do so again."

Justified: City Primeval sees Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens on a mission to hunt down the Oklahoma Wildman
Having originally aired on FX from 2010 to 2015, Justified received praise and acclaim from critics for Timothy Olyphant's portrayal of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. Set in the heart of Kentucky's crime-ridden state, the series brought together drama, action, and dark humor.
Justified: City Primeval takes Givens out of his base i.e. Miami and throws him into a new environment - Detroit to hunt down the notorious Oklahoma Wildman, also known as Clement Mansel, a sociopath who has been on the run. The Hulu show also features Vivian Olyphant, who plays Willa Givens, Raylan's 15-year-old on-screen daughter. Givens, who is on a break, leaves to enroll his daughter in a summer camp, where he is intercepted and carried away to his Marshal duties once again.
