Premise

The Ottawa Citizen described the series as, "A clear-eyed, right-wing, steak-and-potatoes Calgary Mountie is teamed up with a tempestuous, sophisticated, chain-smoking Montreal séparatiste, who also happens to be a CSIS agent. They fight international terrorism when not fighting each other."^[1]
