Set in and around Memphis during the early 1970s, Quarry is a thrilling action drama that centers on the character of Mac Conway, a Marine who returns home from a second tour of duty in Vietnam, only to find himself stigmatized by his involvement in a highly publicized massacre while fighting abroad. With the relationship with his wife Joni growing tenuous, Mac finds himself tempted by a lucrative offer from The Broker, a shady criminal involved in a network of killing and corruption that spans the length of the Mississippi River. After a series of events Mac – whom The Broker codenames “Quarry” – finds himself conscripted against his better judgment into The Broker's crew, a turn of events that has dire consequences for both himself and Joni.
Reviews
“Mac's complicated past and present leave him haunted and restless, and Marshall-Green has a low-key charisma that fits Mac's sensibilities perfectly as a flawed anti-hero that's worth rooting for.” – Collider
“For fans of pulpy crime thrillers, Cinemax's Quarry will likely scratch the itch left by Banshee's departure.” – ScreenRant
“Quarry has a great deal working in its favor, especially when it comes to the gorgeous depiction of '70s-era Memphis.” – IGN Movies
