Eugene Levy, a celebrated actor and self-confessed travel skeptic forces himself into the discomfort of jetting across the globe, visiting dazzling destinations he would normally avoid. With his trademark wit and unease, he peels back the gloss of travel, dipping toes into local customs, natural wonders, and cultural rituals, transforming each journey into a quietly emotional reckoning with what it means to explore, to connect, and to grow. In episodes 1 through 4, the adventure starts in the Arctic north of Finland, where he tries ice fishing, feeds reindeer, rides in a husky sled and chases the aurora borealis. Then he plunges into the Costa Rican jungle, sleeping high among trees and confronting wild creatures. In Venice he lounges at a historic palazzo, bonds with a gondolier and reflects on his life and family. Finally, a helicopter drops him into the stark desert at Amangiri in Utah, where he absorbs breathtaking landscapes and engages with the Navajo Nation while battling his own nerves.
On 21 December 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 explodes over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 residents on the ground. What follows is one of the largest and most complex terrorism investigations ever undertaken in Britain, forcing Scottish detectives and the FBI to work across borders, sift through an enormous debris field and reconstruct how a bomb was placed aboard the aircraft. Based on real events, the series follows both the painstaking search for those responsible and the devastating impact of the attack on the town of Lockerbie and on families on both sides of the Atlantic. In the first three episodes, the investigation begins amid chaos as police recover bodies and fragments of the aircraft while international pressure mounts for answers. Early clues lead investigators toward possible suspects and networks connected to the bombing, but every breakthrough raises new questions. When Scottish officers travel to the United States with potentially crucial evidence, tensions emerge between agencies, particularly over intelligence the CIA may be withholding about a possible bomb maker. The result is a gripping reconstruction of an inquiry in which forensic evidence, international politics and competing intelligence interests collide, while the families of the victims wait for the truth.
