I en tid, hvor plyndringer og grådighed er stort, tiltrækker det største guldfund i amerikansk historie en skare af rastløse outsidere til en lovløs koloni, hvor alt – og alle – har en pris. Velkommen til Deadwood… et forbandet sted at tjene sin formue. Historien begynder to uger efter general Custers nederlag ved Little Big Horn, og fiktive og autentiske personligheder blandes i en episk fortælling om moralitet. På den indianske afståelse af Black Hills ligger "byen" Deadwood, som en ulovlig koloni. Det er en voldelig og uciviliseret forpost, der tiltrækker en farverig gruppe af karakterer, der er ude på at blive rige – alt fra banditter og iværksættere til tidligere soldater og svindlere, kinesiske arbejdere, prostituerede, byfolk og revolvermænd. Blandt kolonisterne er den tidligere ordenshåndhæver Seth Bullock, den legendariske revolvermand Wild Bill Hickok og den intrigante saloonejer Al Swearengen. Men sin kompromisløse realisme, modne temaer og sindssygt opfindsomme plot brillerer Deadwood som et intenst, karakterdrevet drama, der vender op og ned på traditionelle westernelementer.
