AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The series 'follows Constable Jay Swan, a charismatic young officer who arrives at his new station. Fresh from the city and tipped for big things, Jay might be the new copper, but he’s not new to this town. His estranged father Jack lives here, as does the woman who will change his life forever, Mary.'

Positioned as the third series of Mystery Road, it is set some twenty years earlier and acts as an 'origin story' for protagonist Jay Swan.
