McLusky is the latest in his family to be Mayor, top power broker in Kingstown, Michigan. There, prison is the only profitable business as they attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither instead overrun with systemic racism, corruption and inequality.

The series also stars co-creator Dillon as Kingstown Police Detective Ian Ferguson, Taylor Handley as youngest McLuskey brother Kyle, Emma Laird as escort Iris, Tobi Bamtefa as Crips leader Deverin "Bunny" Washington, Derek Webster as ally KPD Detective Stevie, Nishi Munshi as Kyle’s wife Tracy, Hamish Allan-Headley as Sgt.
