Plot Synopsis

FRONTIER is a one-hour, adventure drama series that follows the chaotic and violent struggle to control wealth and power in the North American fur trade in the late 18th century. Told from multiple perspectives, the series takes place in a world where business negotiations might be resolved with close-quarter hatchet fights, and where delicate relations between Native tribes and Europeans can spark bloody conflicts. Mysterious, untamed, and wild like the land itself, Declan Harp has an infamous reputation as a ruthless trader, widely known throughout the Frontier as the unhinged and violent head of the Black Wolf Company. Harp and his highly skilled outfit have gained a lot of ground in the fur trade in a surprisingly short time, and a legitimate threat to the other companies. After being an accidental stowaway aboard a ship en route to the New World and leaving his love, Clenna, behind in London, Michael Smyth agrees to become a spy in the dangerous revenge game between Lord Benton and Harp, engaging in a delicate balancing act of betrayals, with two very violent men on either side. Benton forayed his formidable talents into a career as a high-ranking officer of the HBC. Born into privilege, he lives very well in this fortified corner of the Bay, continuing to enjoy his upper-class lifestyle while the people under his purview live and die in the muddy wild. Even though he's in the Frontier, he feels a man of his rank and station should have all the trappings of good society. A steepening decline in profits brings incredible pressure on Lord Benton from his bosses at the HBC, making his need to destroy the smaller companies -- and especially Harp -- even more urgent. Sokanon, an extraordinarily skilled hunter and tracker, is a critical member of Harp's inner circle of close confidantes. Suffering from her own tragic losses, the pain and fury she's lived drives her to mete out justice against the English, hoping it will quell the ghosts of the past. Her ghosts are inextricably tangled up in Harp's past with Lord Benton, however, and it will become clear to Sokanon that Harp's need for bloody revenge will ultimately trump her need for balance.
