该剧跟随1923年的另一代达顿家族，他们经历包括西部扩张、禁酒和大萧条在内的各种困难时期，他们要为克服当时的种种艰辛而奋斗。

The project from showrunner Taylor Sheridan follows patriarch Jacob (Ford) and matriarch Cara (Mirren) and explores “the early 20th century, when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.”
