Set deep within rural Oklahoma, The Rivals of Amziah King follows charismatic honey producer and bluegrass musician Amziah King as he oversees a thriving honey-making business surrounded by an unconventional community of friends and misfits. When his estranged foster daughter Kateri unexpectedly reenters his life, Amziah sees an opportunity to reconnect and build a future together. But the business of honey proves more dangerous than expected as powerful rivals threaten to destroy everything he has built and force Kateri into a fight for justice and survival.
