Rule Bound

Sid Cruickshank is a 30 year veteran of the Ontario Provincial Police. He is a shift supervisor who works just north of the Canada/U.S. border. Smuggled guns and drugs are prevalent in the area. Part of Sid’s job is to make sure members of his platoon stay safe, learn the rules and avoid making mistakes. During his career errors were made and Sid recounts these experiences to his team in order to teach valuable lessons. Matt Kerr is an energetic officer and natural investigator, who is always eager to learn. As a young member of the OPP, with only 5 years experience, Sid still thinks of Matt as a Rookie. Matt has listened to many of Sid’s tales. On one winter evening something goes horribly wrong. Officers are confronted with criminals who have rules of their own. Matt must deal with the tragedy and learns to move on. His career path progresses to special investigations as he puts all his focus on the “job”. He becomes involved in cases that vary in scope and one case in particular that may soon lead him to the identity of the Rogues that changed his life.
