Fraserton, Missouri, population under 10,000, is the county seat of fictional, rural Fraser County, somewhere deep in the Ozarks. It is home to Constancy Stafford; her great-grandmother, Amanda Casey; Gram's best friend, Irma West; and Irish-born police officer, Danny Egan, who plays fiddle and quotes Bible with equal ease and sincerity.
