Plot Synopsis

Set in the small town of Hardy, Arkansas, CLASH OF THE OZARKS is a six-episode reality series that follows two local families locked in a feud that dates back many generations, showing how the families affect each other and other townspeople. The war began over a hundred years ago at a town dance, when a member of the Evans family started a fight that allegedly resulted in three deaths. The bad blood between the Evans and the Russells escalated steadily throughout the years, and today, tensions are running higher than ever. Crowbar Russell is the patriarch of the Russell family, who originally moved to the Ozark Mountains to avoid being drafted into the Civil War, and married into the Cherokee nation, developing a deep bond with the land. Today, the Russell family owns hundreds of acres in the area, which they are prepared to defend at all costs, and Crowbar has been the host of multiple television series about the outdoors. Kerry Wayne Evans' family has been in Hardy for six generations, dating back to the 1850s. Raised on the south side of the tracks in a tiny one-room house, Kerry's family struggled to make ends meet. They survived by working hard and learning to live off the land. Kerry is a savvy businessman whose sole purpose is to bring progress to the sleepy town of Hardy, tyring to improve life for those that live there, and is the inventor of the pre-pasted disposable waterless toothbrush. Crowbar wants his family to continue doing things the way that they always have, and thus he is opposed to any form of change or progress that might disrupt his way of life. It is for this reason that he has great disdain for Kerry. As the Evans-Russell feud continues, the townspeople, including mountain man Jimmy Haney and tough gun-toting Sevella, are forced to pick sides.
