James Clayton might not have the attitude of a typical recruit, but he is one of the smartest graduating seniors in the country - and he's just the person that Walter Burke wants in the Agency.

His disappearance and the events surrounding the investigation into his whereabouts threaten to expose a wild, lawless place, and will forever change the local community. The area known as Alderpoint - commonly known as Murder Mountain by residents, is not only mountainous and spacious but a surreal, little corner of America. "Viewers will get an up close and personal look at a cast of isolationists, outlaws, vigilantes and other characters they won't soon forget," said Raphael Rodriguez, the Supervising Producer of "Murder Mountain" and Director of Programming and Production at FUSION. The six-part docuseries also explores Humboldt's marijuana farms - both legal and illegal - and provides a glimpse into what it takes for an outlaw farmer to cross over to the legal market. From describing the history of marijuana in the area to the current role of "trimmigrants"-people from out of town who come to work the harvest-, "Murder Mountain" unravels a place of incredible natural beauty, where marijuana has become the dominant local industry. Shocking. Moody. Surreal. "Murder Mountain" is not to be missed.
