Plot Synopsis

An ex-con and recently-paroled master thief assumes the identity of Lucas Hood, the sheriff-in-waiting of Banshee, a small town in Pennsylvania Amish country, where his former partner in crime and lover, who changed her name to Carrie Hopewell, is now living with her new husband and family. Lucas continues his criminal activities, even as he's hunted by shadowy gangsters, like Mr. Rabbit, a ruthless Ukrainian gangster and New York crime boss who has been hunting Lucas and Carrie, his former top thieves, for 15 years. Keeping his history a secret as he awaits forged papers from Job, an unlikely New York City ally and dangerous transvestite computer hacker, Lucas befriends boxer-turned-bartender Sugar Bates, who is also an ex-con. As Lucas settles into his new life as sheriff, he deals with Banshee mayor Dan Kendall while overseeing deputies Emmett Yawners; Siobahn Kelly, a spitfire female deputy; and Brock Lotus, the longest-serving deputy in the Banshee sheriff department, who is threatened by Lucas's new role as sheriff. Even as he adjusts to his new role, he still yearns for Carrie and a life of crime. Carrie is now married to Gulf-War hero and Banshee district attorney Gordon Hopewell and has two children, including Deva, her rebellious daughter, and has seemingly put her life of crime behind her. Soon after arriving, Lucas inadvertently gets tangled up in the rampant corruption of shunned Amish gangster and wealthy local businessman Kai Proctor, helping Lucas reconnect with his criminal past and with Carrie. BANSHEE returned for its second season on Friday, January 10, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT on Cinemax. The Season 2 premiere picked up with the aftermath of the bloody shootout with Rabbit, as Lucas, Carrie and the Sheriff's Department are interrogated by Jim Racine, a renegade FBI special agent who has been tracking Rabbit for 15 years.

After Alex Longshadow's death, a new, menacing threat looms on the horizon for Lucas, not to mention Proctor and Rebecca: Chayton Littlestone, hell-bent on whipping the Kinaho tribe into a frenzy of violence against their enemies.
