Red River, High Noon, Gunsmoke -- Westerns, where the bad guys sometimes won but never prevailed.

Troublesome Creek is a Midwestern.  It's the story of the Jordan family's struggle to save their Iowa farm.  From crossing the Mississippi  in 1867 to driving to Daddy Date Night in 1967.  From fighting off the Crooked Creek Gang in the 1880's to fighting off the bank today.  Now, with their backs against the wall, the Jordans confront the very worst with their very best.  Troublesome Creek is wry and emotional without being sentimental.  It's a cliffhanger about history, loss and the humor and deep character that settled America, and now preside at its unsettling.
