In a 90s-era Kentucky fueled by sex, drugs, and violence, the Cunninghams will stop at nothing to find The Temple, a place of unimaginable wealth and glory. To unlock its secrets, they imprison victims in their garage, each kidnapping leading them closer to their coveted prize. “We’re gonna find it, Daddy…” “The Temple…” But dark secrets threaten to tear the family apart. Rhonda, eldest daughter, harbors a thirst for violence that may jeopardize everything. Bill, her father, struggles to balance parenthood with the brutal demands of the Quest. Then there’s Bobby, the current prisoner, who may be more dangerous than they realize. Has the family made a mistake they can’t undo? Meanwhile, in the 1970s, a young Bill embarks on a violent rise to power. Driven by prophetic dreams, he forms a ruthless “Posse” determined to rule the Tri County. Standing in his way are the Smoketown Boys, led by Tommy Glick, a rival haunted by visions of his dead brother and a place called "The Temple." In the battle for dominance, both sides spiral deeper into a conflict they can’t control; a warning of the horrors in Bill’s family’s future. Two timelines. One family. A brutal quest for power. Will Bill’s dreams lead him to greatness, or a point of no return?
