Mystery Road: Origin Acorn TV Original Premiere Monday October 3
In this 1999-set prequel to Mystery Road, Mark Coles Smith (Halifax: Retribution, Picnic at Hanging Rock) assumes the iconic role previously played by Aaron Pedersen as a young Jay Swan. The newly hired detective finds himself in the middle of a series of heists by a masked gang and a reopened cold case with personal significance when he arrives at his new post in an Outback mining town, which is home to his estranged father and the woman who will change his life forever (Mary). Jay must deal with a tragic death, a blossoming romance, and the harsh reality of being a police officer who lives in two different worlds.
