What Is ‘Hightown’ Season 3 About?
Check out the official synopsis for Hightown Season 3 from Starz:
“Fishery Service Agent Jackie Quiñones is off the wagon and off the force in the final season of “Hightown,” but that doesn’t stop her from careening into the dark underbelly of picture-perfect Cape Cod to save a missing woman and a murdered sex worker. Meanwhile, her former colleagues Ray Abruzzo and Alan Saintille are focused on taking down drug syndicates, but despite their best efforts, the drugs keep flowing. This attracts Shane Frawley, a gangster from Boston looking to cut himself in on the Cape’s drug trade – and making an enemy of Osito while he’s at it. Alliances are made and old loyalties are questioned in this beautiful but corrupt place where nothing is as it seems.”

To cope with the trauma, Jackie attempts sobriety but becomes convinced she must solve the murder, leading to a clash with Sergeant Ray Abruzzo, a controversial member of the Cape Cod Interagency Narcotics Unit.
In Season 2, Jackie fulfills her lifelong dream of becoming a state cop, diving headfirst into the wave of deadly carfentanyl sweeping the Cape.
