What Season 1 of Yellowstone
John Dutton owns the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, in Montana, and his property is under constant pressure. Real estate developers, the Broken Rock Indian Reservation and the country's first national park are fighting over the boundaries of his grazing land, while the federal government tries to take part of his land. Behind these clashes are politicians bought off by oil and timber companies.
