When the tough and dedicated street cop Frank Leo (Aaron Douglas – Battlestar Galactica) steps up to become head of his local police union, he’s determined to put ordinary cops first and face down corruption in the ranks. But the old boys’ network running the Toronto police force operates hand in glove with the city’s self-serving politicians and soon Frank is fighting not just to rid Bridge Division of corruption but also to save his own career in the South African premiere of the new 13-part drama series The Bridge.

Inspired by the real experiences of veteran police officer Craig Bromell, The Bridge offers unique insights into one man’s efforts to clean up his local police force from the inside. With a creative team headed by the award-winning writer Alan Di Fiore (Da Vinci’s Inquest) this gritty, hard-hitting series also shows the personal cost and political machinations involved in contemporary law enforcement.
