Longmire

Widowed only a year, Longmire is a man in psychic repair that buries his pain behind a brave face and dry wit.

When Branch Connally (series star BAILEY CHASE), an ambitious, young deputy decides to run against him for sheriff, Longmire feels betrayed but remains steadfast in his dedication to the community. Longmire often turns to close friend and confidant Henry Standing Bear (series star LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS) for support as he sets out to rebuild both his personal and professional life, one step at a time.
