Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title is a play on the name of the TV show Northern Exposure (1990), in which Graham Greene (Peter Henderson) played Leonard Quinhagak.
- GoofsDuring a standoff, when Shipley tells the native protesters that they have no right to be there, he pulls out a document while explaining that there is already an "agreement between his company and the territorial government". It should be the "provincial" government because British Columbia is a province, not a territory. At the time of filming, the two territories in Canada were the Northwest Territories (NT) and Yukon. The third territory, Nunavut, only came into existence in 1999 after it separated from NT.

Sgt. Hilda Dupont: You think you can pull that off from a high-rise in Toronto?
Peter Henderson: Actually, I was thinking it might be better if I stayed on here for a while. For my client, of course.
Sgt. Hilda Dupont: Of course.
Peter Henderson: Plus, there is some old business I need to wrap up.
Sgt. Hilda Dupont: Really? Well, just keep in mind, this is my home.
Peter Henderson: Hey, it's mine, too. Well, one of them, anyway.

Featured review
One murder was a mistake...the other one certainly wasn't.
Jessica is on her way to a wedding in Vancouver when her plane is stranded and in need of repair. Soon she sees that the local tribesmen in British Columbia are fighting a building project and emotions are running very hot. When a man is blown up, accusations are that one of the First Nations' members is responsible. Jessica and an attorney (Graham Greene) work fast to keep the community from exploding.
Graham Greene was a nice addition to the show, as his acting was quite good...and he had played on the series in the past as well. While I hate pointing out some bad acting, the Mountie is charge of the case isn't a great actress (hopefully with experience she's improved) and her part isn't written well...such that she's a bit of a distraction. As for the story, it's pretty good and kept my interest.
