    Nevada, 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 an offbeat blend of ensemble Western and classic Noir. Divorce Ranch is created by Rachel Music. Showrunning by Michi Broman and Elena Christina Wagoner. Produced by Simone Kisiel. Divorce Ranch is brought to you by the Good Story Guild.
