Waterfront is a television series set in Providence, Rhode Island that was originally scheduled to be a midseason replacement on CBS in 2007, but was shelved by the network in 2006 before any of its five completed episodes had aired.

1928, Australia faces one of the toughest battles in history. Its not a fight against an enemy on a far off shore, but a struggle within a climate of class divisions, industrial disputes and rising unemployment disarming realities of the Great Depression. With waterside workers on strike for better pay and conditions, Italian labourers are brought in to cross the picket line and get the work done. Caught in the crossfire of unrest are tough wharfie Maxey Woodbury (Jack Thompson) and upper-class Italian migrant Anna Chieri (Greta Scacchi) two people from opposite sides, who find romance in the most unlikely of places.
