What began as a manhunt across Alaska’s tundra in The Last Frontier ends as something smaller and stranger. In the series premiere, a prison transport plane crashed in the wilderness, sending dozens of fugitives scattering into the snow and forcing Frank to hunt them while uncovering a deeper conspiracy involving rogue CIA agents and a covert assassination program known as the Atwater Protocol. The procedural chase becomes a reckoning with the limits of law, the weight of grief, and the realization that doing things “by the book” might be a way to avoid making any real decisions. Across 10 episodes, Frank’s pursuit moves from the hunt for killers and operatives to a search for something harder to capture: the daughter he couldn’t save, the rules he thought would protect him, and the moment he’ll have to decide what matters more: procedure or people.
