On the run from a U.S. Senate investigation, New York mob boss Don Luciano flees to his Canadian hometown and old flame Dolores in this kooky, disorganized crime caper. Luciano soon discovers his long-lost son and tries to teach him the tricks of the trade. Meanwhile, Luciano's bumbling right-hand man -- who'd like to become the boss himself -- has put a contract on Luciano.

While their mother is dying in the modern Gimli, Manitoba hospital, two young children are told an important tale by their Icelandic grandmother about Einar the lonely, his friend Gunnar, and the angelic Snjofrieder in a Gimli of old.

At the height of the October Revolution during the 1919 allied intervention in Arkhangelsk, the exploits of one-legged Canadian soldier Lt. John Boles are told, after he is taken in from the cold by a dysfunctional Russian family and mistakes a local woman for his presumed dead lover.

There’s a place where kids are kids, and the problems don’t have easy answers. A place where people lead real lives. A place called Northwood. Northwood follows the lives and loves of the teenagers who hang out in this middle class, ethnically diverse metropolitan suburb. Premiering in March 1991, and originally slated to air as a limited-run six-part series, high ratings for these six episodes garnered a full-series order, with the second season premiering in September of that same year. The series was created and produced by Nick Orchard.
