At battle against his northern brethren and his best friend and brother-in-law Robert Sumner (played by Christopher O'Shea, Baby Daddy), John leaves his three strong-willed sisters at home to run the plantation that is now without a free labor source. The choice to protect the life they have always known and defend the moral high ground will pit the family against one another and test their strength, courage and love."In addition to the show from Cuse, Amazon will debut new series from Ridley Scott, Frank Spotnitz ("The X-Files") and Shawn Ryan ("The Shield").The premiere episode will debut sometime in early 2015 on Amazon's streaming service, Amazon Instant Video, for free.
