Victor Torres (Justin Louis) is a crime reporter for the Montreal Tribune, a crusading Canadian newspaper.
Victor is an ex-con who took a fall for his friend, Dino Moroni (Vittorio Rossi), and was hired by the paper’s editor, Francine Primeau (Dorothée Berryman), after he was paroled.
Using his street smarts and underworld contacts to investigate crimes, Victor frequently became personally involved with the stories he covers.
Stories followed his attempts to expose crime and corruption through the power of the press.
Other regular characters included Victor’s colleague, cynical veteran reporter, Bill Rack (Arthur Grosser); features writer Rachel Kane (Ellen Cohen); copy editor Hubie Collison (Michael Rudder); staff photographer Martine Beaudoin (Jocelyne Zucco); and Bob Vanderdan (Jack Langedijk), the city editor.
Paula de Vasconcelos appeared as Victor’s legal secretary girlfriend, Christina.
The Canadian production aired on CBC in Canada and CBS in the US. The series was loosely inspired by the life and career of real-life journalist Victor Malarek, who served as a consultant on the show.
