The movie will pick up ten years after the end of the TV series as the residents of Deadwood are reuniting to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought.
