The hour-long series, which is set on location in
Calgary and surrounding
Alberta locations, stars
Chris William Martin in the title role, a roguish character with a colorful past: He was a cop, an oil rigger and an ex-con. His background provides the perfect ingredients the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police need to help them in solving cases that require an outsider. Assisting him in these assignments is RCMP Corporal Marina Di Luzio (
Janet Kidder), a female by-the-book type commercial crime specialist who has an on again-off again friction with the unconventional Stone, which also carries over into the cases they're assigned to. In addition, there is also Tom's American scotch-and-cigar smoking buddy, Jack Welsh (
Stuart Margolin). Canadian actor
Art Hindle also had a recurring role as Neil McQuinn, a shady but well connected businessman. The series was commonly compared by television critics to a Canadian version of
The Rockford Files. ==Episodes==
