Plot Synopsis

THE SOUTH WESTERLIES is a one-hour drama series that centers on single working mom and environmental consultant Kate Ryan, who goes undercover among protesters to quash objections to a Norwegian-owned offshore wind farm earmarked for a small town on the southwest coast of Ireland. It's not just the spectacular scenery that's under pressure. For this straight-talking Dublin woman tasked to bring the project home for a lucrative promotion, her eco-battle is complicated by the reappearance of a crinkly-eyed surfer with a striking resemblance to her teenage son, as well as the emergence of old secrets she's keeping under wraps. THE SOUTH WESTERLIES had its U.S. premiere on Monday, November 9, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Acorn TV released the entire six-episode first season.
