[edit] Overview
The hour-long series, which is set on location in Calgary and surrounding Alberta locations, stars Chris William Martin in the title role, a roguish 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 an 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 an 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 starred in Files, is also the series director.
