The Gerhardt Family then ruled the Fargo region with an iron fist until they were destroyed in a MobWar with the Kansas City Syndicate in 1979.

It follows Molly's father, Minnesota State Police trooper Lou Solverson (Creator/PatrickWilson) as he struggles to navigate a spree of murders in the wake of a gang war between the local Gerhart crime family and the invading Kansas City mob. Wrapped up in the bloodshed are a local couple: self-centered Peggy Blumquist (Creator/KirstenDunst) and her mild-mannered husband Ed (Creator/JessePlemons).
