What’s The Borderline about?
The Borderline s a darkly-twisted comedy of errors, a deadly-violent crime-drama about good people who do bad things and bad people who do worse things. Think Fargo set in the Thousand Islands. The plot revolves around cops and bad guys in the hotbed of crime that is the Thousand Islands- although we are never quite sure who are the bad guys.
Officer Henry Roland (Stephen Amell) finds evidence linking a case of missing illegal substances to his childhood best friend, Tommy Hawley ( Hamza Haq ). As Henry embarks on a mission to save his friend, a ruthless British crime family, led by matriarch May Ferguson (Minnie Driver) is also looking for the missing contraband and Tommy.
With Tamara Podemski as rival officer Erica Ross; Christopher Heyerdahl as Henry’s police chief father-in-law; Katia Edith Wood as a family friend’s daughter Ruby and Jeremy Watson as her partner.
