STATUS:
previously in development
DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's press release) THE CULPEPPER CATTLE COMPANY stars Emmy Award-winner Tom Selleck ("Magnum, P.I.") as a cattle drive boss who mysteriously comes out of retirement to look for work. Cap Mabrey (Selleck) was once the best cattle drive boss in the West, but he stopped working for hire after he had raised enough money to buy his own cattle concern. When he returns to Little Aberdeen, Texas, looking for a job, it takes the townspeople by surprise. Known and respected for his cattle sense and for being a man of principle, Cap lands a job but is forced to take on a rough, untrained boy as one of his cowhands when help is scarce. The drive itself is hard work, but even a man of Cap's skill and principles is challenged by the new wave of settlers who are mostly fortune seekers in pursuit of land and prestige that threaten the cowboy way of life. Adding to his personal struggle, Cap battles a growing attachment to the boy who threatens to break open the secret behind Cap's return.
