The series is based on the books by C.J.Box and David E. Kelley serves as showrunner and will write on multiple episodes. The show follows private detectives Cassie Dewell and Cody Hoyt as they join forces with his estranged wife, ex-cop Jenny Hoyt, to search for two sisters who have been kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. After learning these are not the only girls to disappear in the area, they frantically race to catch the culprit before another woman is taken.

Check out a trailer for the series below:

We don’t want to give anything away but the first episode is crazy! There’s a big love triangle to kick off the episode — and the plot twists and turns like you wouldn’t believe.

The virtual premiere event brought guests into the world of Big Sky, Montana, kicking off with a LIVE, interactive pre-party experience in the “All In Bar,” serving a signature drink, the “Big Sky Mule” made with Huckleberry vodka. To allow attendees to experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of the town, event producers Little Cinema built out a full, physical recreation of the bar seen in the first episode, filled with easter eggs from the show and populated it with two performers set in the “Big Sky” world. One of the performers treated guests to a LIVE performance of some of the iconic songs from the show, including a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking.”
