Shadow On The Mesa premiers Saturday

SHADOW ON THE MESA

A magnificent cast of television veterans star in “Shadow on the Mesa,” a Hallmark Movie Channel Original World Premiere on Saturday, March 23 at 8 pm, ET/PT.

Three-time Emmy® nominees Meredith Baxter (“Family Ties”), Gail O’Grady (“NYPD Blue”), Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules”), Greg Evigan (“After the Fall”), Barry Corbin (“The Closer”) and Wes Brown (“Deception”) complement a compelling story about family and justice in the American West.

Bounty hunter Wes Rawlins (Brown) is a man of few words and the West’s quickest draw. Silent but calculatingly honest, Wes is devastated when his mother is brutally murdered by outlaws on the run.

Determined to solve the crime and bring justice to his family, Wes leaves his adopted grandparents (Baxter and Barry Corbin) and sets off to find the father he never knew, a rancher named Ray Eastman (Sorbo).

Ray is in the midst of an increasingly bloody feud with a corrupt neighbor, Pete Dowdy (Evigan), who wants to take all of Ray’s land. As Wes gets to know his father and two half-siblings, Ray’s deceitful wife, Mona (O’Grady) holds a secret that fuels the war to a colossal final showdown.

When Wes jumps in to defend his new family, he learns the truth behind his mother’s murder and soon his life will never be the same.
