Sheriff Walt Longmire finds himself caught between a multi-million dollar development project and a stubborn family of junkyard owners in Absaroka County. When a severed thumb and a body turn up in the scrap heap, the investigation uncovers old grudges and a level of local hostility that threatens to boil over. Walt must navigate small-town politics and a series of increasingly dangerous confrontations to find the truth.
