USA Network has released the first trailer for Briarpatch, the anthology drama series starring Rosario Dawson and featuring Alan Cumming.

The first season follows Allegra Dill (Dawson), a dogged investigator returning to her border-town Texas home after her sister is murdered. What begins as a search for a killer turns into an all-consuming fight to bring her corrupt hometown to its knees.
