Overview
Wildcat riggers risk their lives in the pursuit of oil. Their jobs get even more dangerous when ruthless oil baron J.C. Anderson sets his sights on their territory. When longtime driller Dan O’Reilly falls to his death from a well tower sabotaged by Anderson’s strong-arm thugs, his teenage son ‘Fishtail’ inherits the property and the troubles that come with it.
