Summary Note |
When a Tongan-Australian gang does a deal with one of the biggest drug cartels in the world for half a ton of meth to be smuggled to New Zealand shores, a $500 million fortune awaits them. All they have to do is pick up the drugs. The only problem -- theyre really bad at this... Enter local fisherman Ed and his aquarobics-teaching wife Heather - unwittingly brought in to help, they soon realise somethings rotten. Who are these funeral faking, boat crashing strangers, and why are they so hot for a boat trip? Far North is a saga of screw-ups, as everyday people strive to foil an international drug cartels largest-ever drug deal in the Pacific; the cops trip themselves up; and gangsters chase a payday with zero discretion -- leaving a trail of wreckage you can see from space. |
