The drama centers on the biggest oil discovery in American history, which has triggered a geopolitical shift and an economic boom in North Dakota - the greatest since the American Gold Rush in 1849. Set in a modern-day "Wild West," the potential series tracks the pilgrimage of a young, ambitious couple, seeking a better life, to the oil fields of the Bakken, where they come across roughnecks, grifters, oil barons, criminals and fellow prospectors.
