Frontier

"Wanted"

Synopsis:

Fort James is left in chaos after Michael Smyth (Landon Liboiron), Sokanon (Jessica Matten), and Grace Emberly (Zoe Boyle) detonated the munitions magazine and Declan Harp (Jason Momoa) slipped through the hangman’s noose. With Harp gone, the Black Wolf Company is fractured and scattered to the wind. No one knows if Harp survived or not… but Lord Benton (Alun Armstrong) is not taking any chances; he offers a DEAD OR ALIVE bounty for Harp, unleashing a dangerous threat to Harp and his allies as killers come to the Frontier in search of the reward. With Lord Benton making reckless decisions in the wake of being bested by Harp, Captain Chesterfield (Evan Jonigkeit) angles for an opportunity to make his mark. Laying a dangerous proposal on the table for Grace Emberly (Zoe Boyle), Chesterfield puts everything she’s worked for at risk, including Mary (Breanne Hill) and Imogen (Diana Bentley), at the ale house – forcing Emberly to make some life-altering decisions. Lord Benton gets to work righting the deceitful trespasses against him, and promises to revisit the pain upon his enemies tenfold in response – all while the Black Wolf Company attempt their riskiest gamble yet in trying to destroy the stranglehold the HBC has on the fur trade. In the burgeoning city of Montreal, the power dynamic of the trade is in flux, as serious battle lines are drawn between Elizabeth Carruthers (Katie McGrath) and Samuel Grant (Shawn Doyle). No one is safe in the crossfire of their escalating personal war, and no one is above their manipulations – something the Brown Brothers (Allan Hawco, Michael Patric) and Clenna Dolan (Lyla Porter Follows) will come to know all too well, as the unpredictable Cobbs Pond (Greg Bryk) interferes in their business. The Frontier expands in Season 2 with spectacular new views of the Northern wilderness, and new players entering the ruthless game in the quest for power and wealth – pushing everyone, from the BWC to the HBC, to either embrace unknown alliances or arm themselves against them. Whether it’s a calculated risk or cold-blooded murder, everyone in the FRONTIER plays the game their own way — without mercy.
