The mist-covered streets of St. John’s have become the playground for a new breed of predator. In 2026, the landscape of crime has shifted from the shadows of back alleys to the invisible corridors of the dark web. Hudson & Rex: Cyber Hunt finds the city paralyzed by a sophisticated hacking syndicate known only as “The Ghost Protocol,” which uses citywide infrastructure shutdowns to mask a series of audacious, high-stakes heists. As traffic lights malfunction and communication grids fail, the city teeters on the edge of chaos, but the criminals have made one fatal error: they forgot that no matter how advanced the encryption, they can never delete their scent from the city’s most elite K9 duo.
Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) returns, more seasoned and determined, relying on his bond with Rex to navigate a “Smart City” that has been turned against its inhabitants. This time, the investigation takes a chillingly personal turn when Lead Forensic Scientist Sarah Truong (Mayko Nguyen) becomes the target of an anonymous figure linked to a cold case she thought was buried years ago. To protect her, Rex must navigate a concrete jungle rigged with high-tech traps and biometric sensors, proving that in a world governed by code, a dog’s raw instinct and unwavering loyalty remain the ultimate firewalls.
While tech-wizard Jesse Mills (Justin Kelly) and Superintendent Joe Donovan (Kevin Hanchard) utilize 2026’s latest forensic breakthroughs—including AI-enhanced crime scene reconstructions—it is Rex’s four-legged grit that leads the charge. The hunt is an adrenaline-fueled race against time, featuring pulse-pounding rooftop chases, intricate digital puzzles, and the emotional resonance that has made this duo legendary. In 2026, the bad guys can encrypt their data and hide behind a thousand proxies, but Rex is already ten steps ahead, ready to take a bite out of the future of crime.
