“The series takes a look at Bakersfield, a big city with the soul of a small town deep in California’s heartland, where things are not always what they seem,” the synopsis for the series reads. “A deadly hotel shooting makes the Ramirez family question everything they know about their town. Desperate to find out what really happened to their loved one, they soon learn they are not alone in their tragedy and fight for the truth.”
