Plot:
Set in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, the series rotates around the association of a gathering of mountain society known as the Farrell family and local people in the nearby town of Blackburg, Kentucky.
The Farrells are a noninterventionist bunch, who evade ordinary society and carry on with an austere presence in the forest. Amazingly suspicious of pariahs, the family controls a mountain pined for by a public digging outfit for its coal stores.
Toward the beginning of the series, Asa Farrell, a cousin of the decisive family, gets back to the mountains before leaving ten years earlier to encounter life among ordinary society. His appearance agrees with the family matron, Lady Ray Farrell, reporting her goal to surrender capacity to her child, “big Foster” Farrell.
Big Foster, who never excused Asa for leaving his family, has Asa detained in an enclosure for quite some time until he is liberated because of his capacity to read after a removal notice is posted at the entry of the mountain. The story continues as he faces a lot of ups and downs which decide his fate.
