Die Serie zeigt dabei auch aus mehreren Perspektiven, wie die heiklen Beziehungen zwischen Ureinwohnern und europäischen Siedlern häufiger in blutigen Konflikten eskalierten.
Hauptfigur ist Declan Harp (Jason Momoa), einen von Lust und Rachsucht getriebenen Fellhändler. Der ist ehrgeizig, charismatisch, selbstsicher und wild – und steht in dem Ruf, mitleidlos zu sein.
Set against the stunning, raw backdrop of 1700s Canada, Frontier is a thrilling action-adventure series revolving around warring factions vying for control of the fur trade in a ruthless game of wealth and power. Irish stowaway Michael Smyth has barely stepped foot into the New World when he becomes embroiled in a dangerous battle between the fearless and violent Declan Harp and the formidable Lord Benton of the Hudson's Bay Company. A dramatic story of revenge and riches, betrayal and brutality, and survival of the fittest in the James Bay fur trade, everyone is gunning to be the last man standing – from the combustible Scottish Brown Brothers, to crafty ale house owner Grace Emberly, to treacherous Captain Chesterfield, to millionaire Samuel Grant. All are willing to do whatever it takes to hold the keys to the New World.
