COWBOY is the powerful story of Bass Reeves, a freed slave who protected the Wild West as the first black U. S. Deputy Marshal. Throughout his 32-year career, Reeves arrested more than 3,000 criminals, some of which were the most dangerous criminals of his time. Many scholars believe his life served as inspiration for the character of the Lone Ranger. 

Set in 1888 Oklahoma Indian territory, this show follows Bass Reeves and his Native American companion as they seek out two criminals fleeing to the Mexican border, one of whom Reeves has a death warrant for. But soon, they find themselves stuck in an old saloon as a deadly tornado slowly approaches.
