| Summary |
"Set among the turquoise waters and lethal wildlife of Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait, The Straits is an exotic, darkly humorous crime drama series. The Montebellos are not your average Australian family. Modern day smugglers, their family business is transporting drugs to Australia, and guns and exotic wildlife out, making use of blood ties and loyalty in the Torres Strait. When Harry, the head of the family, starts to plan his succession he sparks a vicious family power struggle. However, under attack from bikies and Papua New Guinea Raskols, the family must hold together through torture, assassination and imprisonment"--Container. |
