The genre-bending series is set in Española, New Mexico and tackles the complex issues surrounding native land rights in that part of the state. Newlyweds Whitney and Asher Siegel are determined to build excitement for eco-friendly housing in their hometown. As well as having a hit HGTV show, they want to conceive a child.
Everything is not entirely altruistic though, and the happy couple put on plenty of show for the camera. Ultimately, that is what leads to things going wrong. After an unpleasant incident, all captured on film, it appears that they have been hit by a curse. As a result, their business and their relationship is put under enormous strain. Can they make it through, or will the curse finally catch the Siegels?
The show brings together family, fame, greed and a host of other issues in a really interesting way to create a highly absorbing show. It is set to be the kind of series where we laugh, cry and are a bit terrified all in one episode.
