Eoin Macken as Davis

“Unlike his counterpart Staten Kirkland, Davis is intent on capitalizing on the invaluable aquifer running below Ransom’s ranch land,” his official character description reads. “But this is far from the first issue that Staten and Davis have butted heads over. The two biggest landowners in Ransom, the Kirkland and Collins families have been feuding for generations. But passionate stances on the water pipeline aren’t the only thing Davis and Staten share—both have fallen hard for the beguiling Quinn O’Grady, lavender farmer and owner of the local dancehall in Ransom.”
