What Season 1 of Banshee

Lucas Hood is released from prison after serving fifteen years and arrives in Banshee, a Pennsylvania town that hides far more than it appears to. To escape the mobsters who have been hunting him for years, he decides to stay and take the job of new sheriff. His goal is to reconnect with Ana, his former lover and accomplice, who lives there under another name. But Kai Proctor, the powerful man who controls the town, complicates his every move. Between raids, parties fueled by homemade pills and the pressure of the local tribe's casino, Lucas must keep his cover intact as his past closes in.
