About the show
Two brothers—Lee, a drifter and petty thief, and Austin, a successful screenwriter— struggle for power while they collaborate on a Western screenplay in their mother's southern California home. A dark comedy that delves into the complexities of sibling relationships and the clash between contrasting male identities. This timeless American classic will be reimagined through a Latine lens, offering a fresh perspective on Shepard's masterful exploration of family dynamics, rivalry, and the elusive nature of the American Dream.
