Virgin Media Television is set to debut the gripping new eight-part series "Safe Harbour" this April, and it stars a slew of well-known faces.
The crime drama stars Colm Meaney, Jack Gleeson, Charlie Murphy, Alfie Allen, and Martijn Lakemeier appear in the series, which is set against the backdrop of an Irish mob looking to exploit Rotterdam’s drug-friendly port and follows two hackers caught in a dangerous world.
Tobias (Alfie Allen from "Game of Thrones"), a talented hacker, and his ambitious friend Marco (Martijn Lakemeier from Winter in Wartime) are eager to break into the world of tech billionaires.
However, their lives take a drastic turn when they are drawn into the chaotic world of organised crime after crossing paths with the Irish mob.
Leading the operation in the Netherlands are Sloane (Charlie Murphy from "Love/Hate") and her brother Farrell (Jack Gleeson of "Game of Thrones" fame), who recruit the hackers to breach Rotterdam’s port security, Europe’s largest shipping hub, to ensure the smooth and undetected delivery of drug shipments.
In the first episode, we meet Marco de Bont, a charming but mediocre hacker and businessman who dreams of a carefree, wealthy life. However, reality falls short, just like his best friend Tobias, a brilliant hacker struggling to get paid for his work.

Also seeking new opportunities are the Irish mob, led by Sloane and her more volatile brother, Farrell Walsh, children of notorious mob boss Kieran Walsh (played by the iconic Colm Meaney).
They aim to take advantage of Europe’s open borders and Rotterdam’s drug-friendly port, but things get increasingly dangerous as they attempt to blackmail others without getting exposed to the authorities.
"Safe Harbour" premiered at 9pm on Sunday April 6, and will air Sundays and Mondays throughout April on Virgin Media One. and you can catch all episodes on Virgin Media Play starting this Sunday.
