[edit] Overview

The hour-long series, which is set on location in Alberta, stars Chris William Martin in the title role, a rougish character with a colorful past: He was a cop, an oil rigger and an ex-con. His background are the perfect ingredients the Royal Canadian Mounted Police needs to help them solve cases that requires a outsider.

Assisting him in these assignments is RCMP Corporal Marina Di Luzio (Janet Kidder), a female by-the-book type commercial crime specialist who has a on again-off again friction with the unconventional Stone, which also carries over into the cases they're assigned to. In addition, there is also Tom's American scotch-and-cigar smoking buddy, Jack Welsh (Stuart Margolin).

[edit] Trivia

The series is similar to The Rockford Files, and like that series, also has the character living in a trailer home.
In Addition, Margolin, who also stared in Files, is also the the series director.
