| Summary |
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 dollar fortune awaits them. All they have to do is pick up the drugs. The only problem they're 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. |
