What will happen next?
The second season will explore two storylines. One will involve Joe, and the second will focus on his wife, Marybeth. Joe seemed surprised when he heard about a dead hunter dressed as a moose. He realizes that someone is looking for hunters for some sport in Saddlestring. It will put him in a terrifying position. Meanwhile, Marybeth will be busy with her own investigation.
She will investigate a young Arapaho woman named Marissa, whose left hand suddenly disappears. In doing so, they encounter a strange person, Luke Brueggeman, one of Wild en Vis’s interns. He is quite simple, but has a good heart. He also dislikes horses, but is on a mission to find out about drunk moose.

The previous season’s finale began with Joe rushing to see if Sheridan was home. Lucy and April told them he left with his mother. So he asked them to dress up and leave the place as soon as possible. He rushed to Missy and revealed that Marybeth was shot and Sheridan was missing. Meanwhile, Sheridan spotted a ship and urged it to run. However, Wacey was there and tried to shoot it. It caused Sheridan to hide nearby. Meanwhile, Deputy Sheriff McLanahan drove to the station and found Sheriff Barnum drunk. Barnum told them they weren’t paying enough to catch criminals like Nate.
But McLanahan realized something was wrong. As for Wacey, he was chasing Sheridan, who was hiding under his truck. Joe tried to contact the police to find out where Marybeth was.
