Canal Road

image

A murder mystery drama series set in a thriving medical-legal advisory centre in the heart of Melbourne, where each episode exposes the secret lives of the professionals who work there and the clients who seek their help.

The staff at Canal Road all have secrets, some dark and dangerous, others light and humorous. The centre is the crucible where these secrets collide, where friendships and loyalties are tested, where mysteries bubble to the surface and where skeletons from the past return to haunt people.



Central to Canal Road is Spence McKay, a leading young psychiatrists who has been struggling to get his life back on track since his wife and son were killed in a car accident. When Spence learns their deaths were no accident, he embarks on a quest to find the murderer and avenge his loved ones. It is a quest that will take Spence to the brink, as he uncovers a tangled mystery of murder, corruption and cover-ups at the highest level and which will have a profound affect on all his colleagues at Canal Road.



Dr Olivia Bates, the gorgeous and ambitious centre manager trying desperately to get balance in her work and love life;



Steve Younane, the former corporate high-flying lawyer, now working for Legal Aid while he plans his next assault on the corporate world;



Holly Chong, the sassy young parole officer who is not nearly as tough as she thinks;



Tom Squires, the resident physiotherapist and ladies’ man;



Bridget Keenen, the committed community nurse by day, and dangerously dedicated party girl by night;



Henry Walter, the centre’s law-bending personal care assistant and resident ‘go-to’ man;



Skye Brady, the net-savvy receptionist and bright spark, attempting to create some order and style out of the chaos that is Canal Road.



Also part of this world are Spence’s seductively dangerous client, Daina Connelly; Olivia’s former fiancée and homicide detective, Ray Driscoll, and Daina’s father, Supreme Court judge Malcolm Reynolds. Like the staff at Canal Road, each of them plays a vital – and unexpected – part in Spence’s quest to solve his family’s murder.



Canal Road is produced by Channel Nine Australia for primetime transmission in 2008
