Draft 1
The Enclave is a fluke of history and geography. It's a five-square-mile dot of land that hangs down from British Columbia with the Salish Sea on all other sides.
By land, visitors and residents must pass into Canada, clear customs, drive twenty-five miles in another country and re-enter the US using a passport to proceed. Because of its relative isolation, it's a refuge for people in the US Witness Protection Program, people who want to get away from it all and a place for Canadians to park their money in US real estate.
The show deals with the characters who choose the place to smuggle drugs, sell expensive property, enforce the law or run away from their pasts.
When an egocentric college dropout returns to his hometown for a fresh start, he's quickly made public enemy number one and finds himself in a fight for survival against the various townspeople who he's wronged in the past.
"A failing professional football team makes a super-fan housewife the head coach, as a short term publicity stunt. Things change when the team starts winning."
