The vicious and self-destructive Crowe family drive the plot of the fifth season of this FX crime drama. Small-time crook and full-time idiot Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman) is ecstatic when he receives a large settlement for his ill treatment at the hands of the local law enforcement, but things quickly sour when his relative Darryl Crowe Jr. (Michael Rapaport) arrives from Florida and plots to use the spoils to build a criminal empire. When Darryl teams up with Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) to traffic heroin from Mexico, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) is set on a collision course with the entire Crowe clan. Elsewhere, Ava (Joelle Carter) must learn to survive on her own in prison.

Based on the adaptation of a BBC miniseries of the same name, House of Cards is set in Washington, D.C., where democrat Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) serves as the House Majority Whip and represents South Carolina's 5th congressional district. When he is not appointed as Secretary of State as expected, Underwood vows to exact revenge upon those whom he feels betrayed him. Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Corey Stoll also star. House of Cards earned nine nominations for original online only web television for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013
