"But as each obstacle is overcome it draws them closer to their ultimate destination, the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming," it continues. "It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall and young widow Martha Myers into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face to face with the future they must live."
Following the first episode's premiere, the show will continue to air at the same slot each Sunday night until its conclusion, but for those who can't wait, all episodes will be available immediately after on BBC iPlayer. International audiences can expect to see it land on Amazon Prime Video on Tuesday 11 November.
