June 1949. Heiress Mitzi Ballantyne has gone missing during her "Reno-vation" at the
Sidewinder Resort. Detective Francis O'Connell, a Bible-toting bloodhound, would rather be
at his Ma's sickbed. Instead, he steps off the train and into a den of liberated ex-wives who
test his every nerve. Crooked cops, runaways, and divorcees collide in a female-forward,
"west-of-center" take on the classic noir.
Created and Directed by Rachel Music
Showrunning by Michi Broman and Elena Christina Wagoner

At Philippi, Octavius and Antony disagree over tactics but unite against Brutus and Cassius when they meet for one final negotiation before battle. They hurl insults at each other and part ways. Brutus and Cassius discuss what will happen if they lose. Brutus vows he will not be taken captive. The two friends say goodbye and go into battle. As Brutus attacks Octavius’s army, Cassius watches his troops flee from Antony’s soldiers. When he hears from Pindarus that Antony has entered his camp, Cassius realizes that he is likely to die on this day, which happens to be his birthday. He tells Pindaurs to kill him with his own sword. Pindarus obeys and flees, embracing her freedom. Upon discovering Cassius’s body, Titinius sends Messala to find Pindaus. Once alone, Titinius kills himself with Cassius’s sword. Brutus gets word that Cassius is dead and does his best to rally his troops. Young Cato is killed. Lucilius pretends to be Brutus and is captured. Antony praises Lucilius’s bravery and tells his troops to treat him well. Realizing he’s defeated, Brutus asks his soldiers to kill him but they refuse. He bids them farewell, then impales himself on his sword, which Lucius holds. Antony and Octavius arrive to find Brutus’ body. They praise his honor and vow to bury him with a soldier’s glory.

As Brutus waits for Cassius in the rebel camp, he learns from Lucilius that Cassius is not as friendly as he once was. As soon as he arrives, Cassius accuses Brutus of wronging him. Not wanting their soldiers to see them fighting, they withdraw into Brutus’s tent to carry out their argument in private. It all comes to an end when Cassius offers his dagger to Brutus and bares his chest for Brutus to kill him. Once they make their peace, Brutus tells Cassius that his wife, Portia, has killed herself by swallowing hot coals. Cassius is shocked and saddened but Brutus insists that they focus on their battle plans. Cassius suggests they wait for Antony and Octavius’ armies to exhaust themselves reaching them where they are now but Brutus disagrees, saying they should meet their enemy half way, at Philippi. Cassius gives in. Once alone, Brutus is visited by Caesar’s ghost, who tells him they will meet again at Philippi. Brutus wakes his guards but they all say they didn’t see anything. He sends word to Cassius to be ready to march ahead of him the next morning.

At Caesar’s funeral, the angry crowd demands answers. Brutus speaks first, saying that he loved Rome more than Caesar. Asking the crowd if they would rather be free with Caesar dead or slaves with Caesar alive, the crowd sides with Brutus. But when Antony enters with Caesar’s body, things begin to change. He reminds the crowd of Caesar’s good qualities and shows them the wounds on Caesar’s body where each knife pierced his skin. Then he reads Caesar’s will, revealing that Caesar has bequeathed to every citizen his dream of equality. Antony doesn’t just win the crowd over to his side, he whips them into an angry mob intent on revenge. As the crowd rages, Antony’s guard tells him that Octavius and Lepidus have arrived in Rome and that the conspirators have fled the city. Out in the streets, the mob confronts Cinna the Poet, who they mistake for Cinna the conspirator. She tries to reason with them but they rip her to pieces with their bare hands. Later, Antony meets Octavius and Lepidus to form the new triumvirate of Rome. Together, they choose which conspirators are to die. Once alone with Octavius, Antony questions Lepidus’s integrity. Octavius defends him but Antony persists in his critique before turning their attention to preparations for the ensuing Civil War against Cassius and Brutus.

Caesar approaches the Temple, noting that the “Ides of March” have come. He refuses to read Artemidorus’s warning. Cassius worries their plot has been discovered but Brutus reassures him. As they approach the Temple, Metellus Cimber pleads with Caesar to return her brother, Publius, from banishment. Caesar refuses. Once inside the Temple, the conspirators surround Caesar and stab him to death, proclaiming “Tyranny is dead!” Antony’s servant enters and reports that Antony has fled to his house. Brutus invites the conspirators to bathe their hands in Caesar’s blood. As a crowd assembles outside the Temple, Antony’s servant returns to ask for safe passage for Antony to speak with the assassins. Brutus grants his request. Antony enters and offers his life unless they can justify their actions. Brutus tells him that all will be explained once they’ve quelled the crowd. Antony shakes hands with each of the conspirators and requests permission to speak at Caesar’s funeral. Cassius is reluctant but Brutus agrees, making Antony promise not to speak poorly about them. Once alone with Caesar’s body, Antony mourns and vows revenge. Octavius’s guard enters to give word that Octavius is on his way to the city. Antony tells him to report to Octavius about what’s happened and to warn him not to arrive until they see how things unfold.

Brutus paces in his study, unable to sleep. His wife, Portia, enters and begs him to tell her why he’s so troubled. He does his best to comfort her and tells her he’ll explain everything later. Caius Ligarius, an ailing Senator, enters to meet with Brutus, who convinces him to join the assassination plot. Caesar has a hard night as well. His wife, Calphurnia, tells him of terrible dreams she’s been having about his murder and says they are omens for Caesar not to go out of the house. When Decius arrives to accompany Caesar to the Temple, Caesar explains that he is staying home on account of Calphurnia’s dreams. Decius tells him that the blood in Calphurnia’s dreams is a symbol of the new life that Caesar gives his followers and that he will be seen as a coward if he stays home. Caesar changes his mind and leaves with Decius and the rest of the conspirators. Elsewhere, a poet and prophet named Artemidorus writes a letter to Caesar warning him to beware, naming all the traitors who are out to get him. He vows to hand Caesar his letter when he passes by. Outside the Temple, Portia frets over the conspiracy that her husband has confided to her. She tells Lucius to go into the Temple and report back to her about what’s going on. When the Soothsayer passes, Portia grills her to find out what she’s going to tell Caesar. The Soothsayer responds that she is only going to tell Caesar to befriend himself and beware of others.

Caska and Cicero meet on a stormy night. Caska trembles at the omens he’s seen until Cassius arrives and dispels his fears with the encouragement that they’re not alone in fighting tyranny. Cinna nervously joins them, expressing her hope that Brutus will join their conspiracy. Cassius reassures her that Brutus is on board. Later that night, Brutus ruminates at home on the possibility of killing Caesar, deciding that murder is the only way to stop him. His servant, Lucius, announces the arrival of cloaked guests. Brutus welcomes them and Cassius introduces the co-conspirators: Trebonius, Decius Brutus, Caska, Cinna and Metellus Cimber. Together, they plan Caesar’s assassination. Cassius suggests that they swear an oath but Brutus says oaths aren’t necessary because their plan is noble. They all agree not to include Cicero in their plans. Cassius suggests that they also kill Mark Antony but Brutus advises against it, saying they will appear “too bloody” and that Antony won’t be a threat once Caesar is dead. When Cassius worries that Caesar won’t come to the Temple, Decius offers to bring him to the Temple herself. Cassius says they’ll all go to Caesar’s house together instead. Metellus suggests that they include Caius Ligarius in their plans and Brutus agrees, then sends everyone on their way, telling them all to freshen up so their looks won’t betray their purposes.

Activists assemble outside the Stadium to celebrate Caesar when they’re interrupted by Flavius and Murellus, who challenge them to honor not just one man but all the people who helped in the Movement. Once the group breaks up and moves on, Flavius tells Murellus to help him take down all the posters celebrating Caesar. Inside the stadium, Caesar and his entourage–including his closest friend, Antony, and his wife, Calphurnia–are enjoying the thrills of a drag race when they’re interrupted by an old woman who warns Caesar to beware the “Ides of March”. Caesar dismisses the woman and tells his entourage to enjoy the race with him. Cassius and Brutus stay behind and share their honest feelings about Caesar. Cassius tells Brutus he thinks Caesar is weak, spurring Brutus to confess he’s uneasy with the way things are going in Rome. As they return from the race, Caesar sees the two men talking and tells Antony he thinks Cassius is dangerous. Brutus pulls Caska aside and asks him for details about what took place at the race. Caska describes how Caesar refused the crown three times when it was offered to him, further endearing him to the crowd. Caska also describes how Caesar “fell down” and foamed at the mouth. Brutus suggests that Caesar must have the “falling sickness” (epilepsy). Cassius says Caesar is not like them. Caska goes on to describe how Flavius and Murellus were punished for pulling down placards and posters celebrating Caesar, warning Cassius and Brutus to watch how they treat him. After Brutus and Caska depart, Cassius muses to himself about how easily Brutus can be manipulated.

Celia tries to comfort Rosalind when Orlando doesn’t show up at the cottage for his first coaching. Corin arrives to invite them to spy on Silvius courting the reluctant Phebe. Rosalind, still dressed as Johnnyseed, follows and confronts Phebe when she sees how poorly she treats Silvius, but it backfires when Phebe falls for her instead. Rosalind beats a hasty retreat with Celia. Phebe tells Silvius she’s going to write “Johnnyseed” a love letter for him to deliver. Back in the forest, Rosalind teases Jacques about his melancholy until Orlando finally arrives. Jacques leaves and Rosalind (Johnnyseed) berates Orlando for being late to his tutoring session. Johnnyseed (Rosalind) convinces Celia to stage a fake wedding between Johnnyseed and Orlando in order to make Rosalind jealous. Orlando isn’t sure about this and leaves to have dinner with Duke Senior. Celia scolds Rosalind for misrepresenting women, but Rosalind can only respond that she’s fallen deeply in love.

Celia tells Rosalind that Orlando is the poet whose writing has so delighted them. When they hear Orlando approaching in argument with Jacques about love, they hide to eavesdrop. Once Jacques leaves, Rosalind steps out and introduces herself as “Johnnyseed”. She promises to cure Orlando of his lovesickness provided he agrees to pretend that she’s Rosalind and comes every day to practice wooing him. Orlando happily agrees. Back at the concert, Touchstone and Audrey make their way through the crowd with her goats, trailed by Jacques. Audrey tries to keep up with Touchstone’s wit until they come across Sir Oliver Martext, who Touchstone asks to marry them. Sir Oliver says he can’t marry Audrey to Touchstone until she’s “given away”. Jacques emerges and offers to give Audrey away, but not until he has a word in private with Touchstone.

Jacques is enraptured by Amiens’ music and begs for more. Meanwhile, Orlando leaves the elderly and exhausted Adam to find food for them to eat. Later in the day, Duke Senior comes upon Jacques, who is elated by his conversation with a fool he met in the forest (Touchstone). As they sit down to eat with their entourage, Orlando enters, sword drawn, and orders them to give him food. Duke Senior soothes him and welcomes him to their feast. Orlando apologizes for his rude behavior and goes to get Adam. Jacques describes how all the world's a stage. Orlando re-enters with Adam and they all dine together. As Amiens sings another song, Orlando describes his saga to Duke Senior, who replies that she knew and loved Orlando’s father, and wants to hear more. Back at the Court, Duke Frederick berates Oliver for failing to kill Orlando. He seizes Oliver's land and property, ordering him to find his brother and bring him back within a week or be banished from the realm forever. Back in the forest of Arden (or Woodstock), Orlando hangs poems to Rosalind on the trees and gives them to everyone he sees. Meanwhile, Corin and Touchstone debate the attributes of courtly and country life. They hear Rosalind (or “Johnnyseed”) reading Orlando’s bad poetry. Touchstone steps forward to mock the poetry and is joined by Celia. They all laugh together.

At dinner after the wrestling match, Celia marvels at how quickly Rosalind has fallen in love. They’re interrupted by the angry Duke Frederick, who threatens his niece Rosalind with death for treason if she doesn’t leave his court immediately. Celia defends Rosalind and vows to stay with her wherever she goes. Together, they plan to leave the city disguised as men. Rosalind will be known as “Johnnyseed" and Celia as “Anne Emma Grant”. They decide to bring the court jester, Touchstone, with them. Meanwhile, Duke Senior holds court in the forest with Woodstock concertgoers, philosophizing on the virtues of living in nature. When she hears that Jacques, another courtier-turned-philosopher, is in the forest mourning the killing of deer, she asks to be taken to him. Back at his Court, Duke Frederick berates his assistants for losing track of Celia and Rosallind and letting them escape. He demands that they bring Oliver and Charles the Wrestler to him. Back at Orlando’s quarters, Adam tells him he must flee or die. He offers him all his savings and urges him to leave immediately. Orlando convinces Adam to accompany him in flight. Elsewhere, Rosalind, Celia and Touchstone trudge through the rain into the forest of Arden. There, they come upon two farmhands, Silvius and Corin, and overhear Silvius asking for advice as he pines away for a young shepherdess named Phebe. Rosalind sympathizes with his plight as she pines for Orlando. Touchstone gets their attention to find out where they might be able to get food and lodging. When Corin tells them he can’t help because his boss is selling his farm, Rosalind offers to buy the farm and all its property in exchange for his services.

Orlando tells his trusted old servant, Adam, how much it grieves him that his brother Oliver keeps him from their father’s inheritance. Oliver enters and provokes Orlando into attacking him, then relents and agrees to give Orlando part of what’s due to him. After Orlando and Adam depart, Oliver meets privately with the champion wrestler, Charles, and encourages him to break his brother’s neck at their upcoming match. On the day of the match, Duke Frederick’s daughter, Celia, arrives at Madison Square Garden with her cousin, the banished Duke Senior’s daughter, Rosalind. They’re joined by Touchstone, the jester. Once inside, the cousins are taken by the sight of Orlando, who they try to dissuade from wrestling with Charles. Orlando persists on his mission and beats all odds by defeating Charles. Duke Frederick is enraged and leaves the arena when he finds out the victor is the son of Sir Roland du Bois. Rosalind approaches Orlando and gives him a necklace. Orlando is smitten but can’t bring himself to speak. When Duke Frederick’s servant, Le Beau, tells him that Rosalind is the daughter of the banished Duke Senior, he vows to find her again.
