Official Synopsis
“A criminal mediator from Chicago is forced to flee his life and everything he knows and hide out in a small Australian reef community in Far North Queensland posing as the new church Reverend. “Reverend Mackenzie Boyd” (not his real name) has made a mess so bad he can never go home, but he’s going to need all his considerable street smarts to pull off posing as clergy – something he doesn’t know the first thing about. If he slips up, he’s dead and, after a lifetime of crime, doing good work is not something that comes naturally. But “Mack” finds himself in a small beach town, with no phone or internet, amongst a community that is filled with people desperate for connection and crying out for a leader. What at first seems like a perfect hiding place from the Chicago mob quickly becomes Mack’s home. But as he reluctantly settles into his new life, Chicago commences the hunt. The only way he will be able to stay off their radar will be to maintain the illusion that he is a Reverend. To do that though, Mack will have to appear to care. Trouble for Mack is, after all that pretending, it may just become a little bit real.”
Other details
Ten 60-minute episodes of the irreverent series were produced in collaboration with Netflix and Peacock, Australia. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle distribution.
Trailer
Paulo killed another person in the criminal underground. He travelled all the way from Chicago to a small Australian town posing as a Reverend. It does seem that at least one of his followers is aware that he is a fraud. He must continue to lie, though, or the Chicago mob will find him and eliminate him.
