Plot Synopsis

Based on Chris Hammer's 2018 book of the same name, SCRUBLANDS is a four-episode limited series that follows a country town grappling with the aftermath of a horrible crime, still trying to come to terms with it a year on. In an isolated and struggling country town, a charismatic and dedicated priest, Father Byron Swift, calmly opens fire on his congregation, killing five parishioners. One year later investigative journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend to write what should be a simple feature story on the anniversary of the tragedy. But when Martin's instincts kick in and he digs beneath the surface, the previously accepted narrative begins to fall apart, and he finds himself in a life and death race to uncover the truth. Martin finds the people of Riversend deeply scarred and hostile to journalists, with local bookstore owner Mandy Bond, Constable Robbie Haus-Jones, and widow of one of the massacre victims, Fran Landers, giving him short shrift. But each have a past with Byron Swift they have kept hidden. SCRUBLANDS made its U.S. debut on Thursday, May 2, 2024 on SundanceNow and AMC+, which released the first episode. A new installment dropped weekly on Thursdays through May 23.
