Season two picks up with Anna
Funk (Paxton-Beesley) going at it alone after Noah (Robbins) disappeared for a year. In
an attempt to shield her children from the family's involvement
with the drug cartel, Anna finds herself in the very center of the
drug ring she and Noah attempted to take down.
The series takes us deep inside a closed, secretive subculture
through the eyes of a conflicted, good-hearted man trying to
protect his family and preserve his faith. Inspired by true
events, "Pure" is the journey of Noah
Funk, a newly elected Mennonite pastor, who is determined to
rid his community of the scourge of drugs and its nefarious ties to
a trans-border smuggling alliance with ruthless Mexican cocaine
cartels. Just when he thinks he's won, Noah and his wife Anna
are thrust headlong into a desperate world of violence, greed, and
betrayal.
"Pure" is produced by Two East Productions and Cineflix in
association with WGN America, Super Channel, Hulu and the
CBC. The series is created by Michael
Amo ("The Listener") with Amo and director Ken Girotti ("Orphan Black," "Vikings")
