A preview of my 2nd TV series pilot. Sacred Lives is a story about the father of a massive school shooter who comes to learn over 20-something years later that his son was framed in the crime, so this burnt-out ex-sheriff decides to embark on a dangerous mission of his own to find his son's true killer. 

In episode 3, the final part of the pilot episode, Joe Buckner desperately tries to hide the body and marijuana plants from his property. Maddison finds herself in a hell of a situation when her brother shows up on her front doorstep. She must deal with her need to drink, as this could become costly at work. Chris finds himself in a tight spot with the law, and the truth about the missing children becomes a reality for this family. 

Chris Buckner befriends Aaron Dean in school. These boys find themselves in troublesome ways, which leads them into run-ins with the law and bullies at school. Maddison Buckner gets a visit from an older friend she wishes never to see again—or does she? Joe Buckner's past begins to catch up to him as he is forced to bring his violent ways to the forefront once again.

Joe and Maggie Buckner try to keep Maggie's Parents' farm from declining. After Joe witnesses his neighbor's death, he tries to deal with this the best he can as trouble unexpectedly comes to him.
