Seasons & episodes

The dedication of the Noda Deh Lodge--Peter and Teevee's grand plan to bring more tourism to Lynx River--is marred by a late night fire and a body. James begins to suspect Peter, who had been seen arguing with the dead man not long before the fire. Although Michelle wants to believe in her brother's innocence, his obvious lying about certain aspects of the incident makes it hard for her to do so. Adding to the tension --and the plausibility of a coverup-- is the fact that Peter is trying to become premier of the Northwest Territories. When James and Michelle travel to Yellowknife to investigate the dead man's work for the provincial legislature, hey begin to unravel a complicated web of political wheeling and dealing. But what--and whom--will they find at the center?

Strange and disturbing things are happening in Lynx River. As Michelle and James try to determine the cause of death of a body found in the river, Michelle and Teevee are having frightening dreams, and many of the town's children are struck by a mysterious illness. In the midst of all this, Teevee tries to close a deal for a new gas pipeline. Then an unexpected figure returns to Lynx River. Is he there to offer a warning, a solution, or both?

On a trip to Calgary to negotiate a hydroelectric deal, Teevee is arrested for the murder of a young native woman. As he attempts to cope with the hostile environment of the jail, Michelle tries to find out what really happened a quest that reaches its climax back in Lynx River.

Teevee pushes Michelle to accept the idea of an aboriginal police force, with former RCMP member Marjorie Sebastian supporting him and his former cellmate Matthew Fowler as a test case for community rehabilitation. But when a tourist is killed, suspicion falls on Matthew and on a Lynx River resident who may have had a longstanding grudge against the victim.
