In Badlands, the town of Grimstad has transformed into the oil capital of North Dakota, attracting money, drugs, and dangerous criminals. Amidst this chaos, twelve-year-old Kyle Westergaard dreams of escaping his life in Grimstad. One day, witnessing a car accident, Kyle finds himself in possession of a large sum of money and packets of white powder, leading him to question whether his luck has changed for better or worse. Agent Cassie Dewell faces a gang war amidst sub-zero temperatures, and discovers that the key to restoring order may lie in the hands of Kyle, a boy who seems to know more than he appears about the hidden secrets of the town.
