Product Description
Gemini Award Winner for Best Dramatic Series. Featuring 24 Episodes including the 2-Part Pilot Episode. Due South is a lightning-paced action/comedy in which a quintessential, polite, by-the-book Canadian Mountie from the frozen North is teamed up with a wise-cracking Armani-clad Chicago cop with a flexible sense of morality. Brought together in the Windy City by a mysterious murder which has personal ramifications for both men, these unlikely buddies must find a common ground amidst overwhelming differences. Canadian actor Paul Gross (Buried on Sunday, Aspen Extreme) stars as RCMP Constable Benton Fraser, with David Marciano (Civil Wars, Harlem Nights) as his reluctant partner, Ray Vecchio.
