In Banshee, PA, it's a fine line that separates the cops from the crooks...especially when the town's sheriff-in-waiting is actually a master thief. From Alan Ball, the creator of 'True Blood,' comes Season 1 of this thrilling Cinemax action series that charts the twists and turns of Lucas Hood (Antony Starr), a recently paroled ex-con who assumes the identity of the town's new sheriff thanks to a bizarre twist of fate. In town to find his former partner and lover Carrie (Ivana Milicevic), whom he hasn't seen since a heist 15 years earlier, Hood settles into his role as lawman in a corrupt town controlled by Amish overlord Kai Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen)--even as his appetite for both crime and Carrie pulls him into a dangerous cauldron of duplicity. Ben Cross co-stars as a New York mobster they once ripped off who arrives on a mission of revenge.
