Synopsis.
Former Liverpool undercover police detective Jim Worth is the seemingly gentle police chief of Little Big Bear, a small town at the edge of the Canadian Rockies, where he has settled his family of four. But, thanks to a chief of security for North Stream Oil, the oil company that dominates the town, people from Worth's violent past catch up with him. He and his wife Angela prompt Jim's alcoholic and violent former identity Jack Devlin to resurface, enabling him to eliminate anyone they suspect of trying to hurt their family. The local head of public relations for North Stream, Elizabeth Bradshaw, wavers between ethics and criminality against a backdrop of rough oil workers and bikers. The family eventually return to Liverpool to confront those who want to see him and his family destroyed.
