A Story of Tension and Uneasy Alliances

Set in the small town of Walpole, New Jersey, The red Road delves into the complex relationship between the local community and the neighboring Ramapough Lenape tribe in the Ramapough Mountains.The narrative is ignited by a tragic event and subsequent cover-up, forcing an unlikely partnership between two men on opposite sides of the law.

the Red Road centers on Sheriff Harold Jensen (Martin Henderson) and Phillip Kopus (Jason Momoa). the series begins after Harold’s wife, Jean (Julianne Nicholson), accidentally hits and kills a young Ramapough Lenape man. To protect his family and career, Harold covers up the incident with Phillip’s help. This act sets off a chain of events that unravels the fragile peace between the town and the tribe.
