【内容介绍】:

In an age of plunder and greed, the richest gold strike in American History draws a throng of restless misfits to an outlaw settlement where everything — and everyone — has a price.

Welcome to Deadwood...a hell of a place to make your fortune.

From Executive Producer David Milch ("NYPD Blue") comes DEADWOOD, a new drama series that focuses on the birth of an American frontier town and the ruthless power struggle that exists in its lawless boundaries.

The story begins two weeks after Custer's defeat at Little Big Horn, combining fictional and real-life characters and events in an epic morality tale. Located in the Black Hills Indian Cession, the "town" of Deadwood is an illegal settlement, a violent and uncivilized outpost that attracts a colorful array of characters looking to get rich — from outlaws and entrepreneurs to ex-soldiers and racketeers, Chinese laborers, prostitutes, city dudes and gunfighters.



黎明破晓的荒芜之地，这个野蛮人和逃犯聚居的地方在1877年的春天发生了很多改变。许多新移民的到达和逐渐完善的管理使这个原来的难民营变成一个勃勃生机的市镇。与此同时，犯罪的气息逐渐弥漫，金钱和欲望驱使着这里的人们，而这一切，就是Deadwood的奇妙之处...


故事描述美国历史上着名的淘金潮，一个抢夺和贪欲的年代，故事把重心集中在美国边界城镇和那在它的非法边界中存在的无情力量的竞争。 这个城镇是违法的殖民, 一个暴力的和未开化的前哨，吸引个性的五彩缤纷的人排列前往 - 从被剥夺法律保护的人和企业家到前任军人和敲诈者，华人劳动者，男娼。 在这些人身上发生的故事也光怪陆离，一如这罪恶的小镇。


《死木》虽然是近代的西部淘金热题材，但可以肯定的是，它不会“节约”情色内容以及暴力粗口——大多数场景都设在一座妓院，内容多涉毒品及犯罪。由《纽约重案组》(NYPD Blue)制作人大卫·米奇担纲，讲述美国法治与资本主义诞生的剧集。剧名来源于南达科达州Deadwood城，一个终于在1989年赌博合法化的地方。
