He is still grieving the death of his wife while also fighting to protect his family's land from outside threats.

Staten owns the huge Double K Ranch. His life is turned upside down as he goes through the painful process of healing, getting revenge, and finding new opportunities in life that he had missed before.

Despite her success in New York, Quinn is drawn to Staten and his fight to protect the land his family owns. As Staten and Quinn's relationship grows, the tension between them as lovers becomes a central theme, unfolding amidst the families' battle over land and legacy.

As the show goes on, a mysterious cowboy arrives in town and uncovers long-kept secrets that could put everything the families have fought for at risk.
