What happens

Caught is a Canadian crime drama television series written and produced by Allan Hawco that debuted on CBC Television on February 26, 2018. Based on the 2014 novel by Lisa Moore, Caught is about a drug dealer who, with the help of a corrupt cop, makes a daring jailbreak from a New Brunswick prison in 1978, and travels across the globe to hunt down his drug king-pin ex-partner. Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle) was presented with the story by eOne's Tecca Crosby (SVP, Scripted Development) and was eager to take on the project due to its rich story and characters. The series was produced by Take The Shot with CBC in Canada, with distribution handled by eOne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
