PREMIERES SAME TIME AS THE U.S. ON SEPTEMBER 10 AT 10AM (9AM THAI/JKT) ON CINEMAX
SINGAPORE, AUGUST 16, 2016 – A brand-new eight-episode thrilling action drama series, QUARRY, will premiere in Asia at the same time as the U.S., on Saturday, September 10 at 10am (9am Thai/ Jkt) with a same day primetime encore at 10pm (9pm Thai/Jkt), exclusively on CINEMAX. Subsequent new episodes of QUARRY will air on Saturdays at the same time.
Set in and around Memphis during the early 1970s, QUARRY tells the story of Mac Conway, a Marine who returns home from a second tour of duty in Vietnam, only to find himself stigmatised by his involvement in a highly publicised massacre while fighting abroad. Though he and his fellow Marine Arthur Solomon have been exonerated of wrongdoing, they are greeted with hostility and rejection in Memphis, with neither able to land a decent job.
With Mac’s relationship with his wife Joni growing tenuous, he and Arthur are tempted by a lucrative offer from The Broker, a shady criminal involved in a network of killing and corruption that spans the length of the Mississippi River. At first, Mac refuses to offer up his services to The Broker, but after Arthur opts to trade his principles for quick cash, Mac – whom The Broker codenames “Quarry” – finds himself conscripted against his better judgment into The Broker’s crew, a turn of events that has dire consequences for both himself and Joni.
QUARRY stars Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus, 24, Spider-Man: Homecoming) as Mac Conway, whose decision to return to Vietnam cost him a “normal” life; Jodi Balfour (Final Destination 5) as Mac’s wife Joni, whose job at a local newspaper led to a regrettable decision during Mac’s absence; Peter Mullan (Olive Kitteridge) as The Broker, whose promises come with cruel demands; Nikki Amuka-Bird (Luther) as Ruth Solomon, wife to Mac’s Marine pal Arthur and mother of two; and Damon Herriman (Justified) as Buddy, an eccentric member of The Broker’s team.
Based on the novels of Max Allan Collins (who also wrote Road to Perdition), the eight episodes of QUARRY are directed and executive produced by Greg Yaitanes (CINEMAX’s Emmy®-winning “Banshee”; Emmy® winner for directing “House, M.D.”), along with executive producer Steve Golin (HBO’s Emmy®-nominated “True Detective”; “Mr. Robot”; the Oscar®-winning “Spotlight”; the Oscar®-nominated “The Revenant”). It is created, written and executive produced by Graham Gordy & Michael D. Fuller (“Rectify”).
