The new original drama series, Quarry, debuts its eight-episode season on Monday, September 12th at 20hrs* on MAXPrime in the Caribbean. Based on the bestselling books of Max Allan Collins (The Road to Perdition), the series revolves around U.S. Marine Mac Conway, known as Quarry, who is trying to readapt to normal society after the Vietnam War. Quarry will also be available on HBO GO.

When U.S. Marine Mac Conway returns home to Memphis from Vietnam in 1972, he finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonized by the public he fought for. While struggling with the nightmarish experiences he witnessed and took part in, Conway is unwillingly drawn into an underground network of killing that spans the length of the Mississippi River.

Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus) stars as Conway, with Jodi Balfour starring as Joni, the love of Mac’s life and a reporter at the local newspaper. Though devoted to him, Joni has outgrown her old life in his absence.

Peter Mullan (HBO’s Olive Kitteridge) stars as The Broker, a cunning, secretive crime boss who has a network of powerful criminals at his command and has taken a special interest in Conway.

Other cast members include: Nikki Amuka-Bird (Luther) as Ruth, a hardworking mother who is Joni’s close friend; Damon Herriman (Justified) as Buddy, Edoardo Ballerini as Karl, and Mustafa Shakir (HBO’s The Night Of) as Moses, three of The Broker’s most capable and ruthless henchmen; Jamie Hector (HBO’s The Wire) as Arthur, Ruth’s husband and Mac’s best friend, who is also a Vietnam vet; Ann Dowd (HBO’s The Leftovers and True Detective) as Naomi, Buddy’s doting but unconventional mother; Skipp Sudduth (Ronin) as Lloyd, Mac’s father; Josh Randall (Scrubs) as Detective Tommy Olsen, a dedicated member of the Memphis Police Department; and Kurt Yaeger (Sons of Anarchy) as Suggs, who has fallen within The Broker’s sights.
