Laconic Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), the hero of the crime drama Longmire, is a shell of a man since the death of his wife last year. While he was struggling with his new widower status, a rival at the sheriff's office, the ambitious young Deputy Branch Connally, is out to dethrone Longmire by running against him for sheriff. But Longmire is determined not to let his position go so easily. Even while he opposes Connally, Longmire still has to work with him, as well as with his tetchy and talkative new deputy, Philadelphia expatriate Victoria "Vic" Moretti (Katee Sackhoff). Together Moretti, Longmire, Connally, and the other deputies solve twisty crimes with a Big Sky flavor, such as those connected with the local Indian reservation, where Longmire has a connection in the form of his best friend Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips).
