Dead Mans Burden

Reeling from a Civil War that divided both their country and their family, a brother and sister reunite on the western frontier only to uncover each other's unforgivable secrets.

The year is 1870, and a fragmented America still strains to pick up the pieces from a savage Civil War. Martha (Clare Bowen, Nashville) and her husband Heck (David Call, Fringe) struggle to survive on their homestead in the rough New Mexico frontier. When a mining company expresses interest in buying their land, Martha and Heck see their ticket to a better life.

Their hopeful plans are complicated when Martha's oldest brother Wade (Barlow Jacobs, Shotgun Stories) - whom she thought died in the war - returns to the family homestead after learning of their father's death. A defector to the Union Army, Wade soon discovers Martha is hiding secrets of her own, and tensions mount as clashing convictions begin to overshadow their desire to reconcile.
