Past Redemption is a character-driven series about survival in a small impoverished town, where the options are to be law abiding and live in poverty or be involved in petty crime where prospects – and risks – increase dramatically.

Added to this, Redemption and the rural communities past Redemption are  the historic birthplace of a major crime family – the Wesleys.

The Town that Crime Left Behind

When the Wesley crime bosses moved out of the region two or three decades earlier, as did many businesses, it left behind a legacy of a morally corrupt environment where crime is a proud tradition. However, the Wesley name still carries a threatening tone, even if the Redemption Wesleys have little or no contact with the crime family in the big city.
