SOVEREIGN LAND —When a sheriff’s deputy is found murdered on an Indian reservation, Crews (Damian Lewis) and Reese (Sarah Shahi) find themselves in the middle of a turf war between Tribal police and the county sheriff’s department. The detectives learn the victim was not well-liked on the reservation and the opening of a new profitable casino may have led to the deputy’s demise. Meanwhile, Crews attends a fundraiser thrown by Mickey Rayborn (William Atherton), one of the individuals Crews believes was involved in the conspiracy against him. Donal Logue and Adam Arkin also star.
