Episode one sets the stage perfectly as it introduces us to this modern-day tale set against booming oil fields. As tragedy strikes early on in episode two, we witness how such calamities ripple through lives intertwined within the oil industry. This ongoing tension keeps audiences engaged as they root for or against characters whose fates hang precariously in balance.
