When a Tongan-Australian gang does a deal with one of the biggest drug cartels in the world for half a ton of meth to be smuggled to New Zealand shores, a $500 million fortune awaits them. All they have to do is pick up the drugs. The only problem – they’re really bad at this.... Enter local fisherman Ed and his aquarobics-teaching wife Heather - unwittingly brought in to help, they soon realise something’s rotten. Who are these funeral faking, boat crashing strangers, and why are they so hot for a boat trip? Far North is a saga of screw-ups, as everyday people strive to foil an international drug cartel’s largest-ever drug deal in the Pacific; the cops’ trip themselves up; and gangsters chase a payday with zero discretion – leaving a trail of wreckage you can see from space.
