The series follows a group of diverse misfit families pursuing their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, while a corrupt power and wealth covets their land and tries to drive them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls that live on the fringes of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back. In this bloody process, 'justice' is stretched beyond the limits of the law.
The Abandons explores the thin line between survival and justice, the consequences of violence and the corrosive power of secrets, as this family fights to keep their land.
