Like most working women, her hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe from Hell on Wheels), and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen from When Calls the Heart) and Rachel (Natasha Calis from The Firm).
But when she and her partner, Devin (Dion Johnstone from Defiance and Stargate SG-1), must arrest her brother, Tim (Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210), for aggravated assault, her world drastically changes as Tim is convicted and sent to prison leaving his two teenagers Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond from Good Witch) and Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener from Falling Skies) teetering on the brink of foster care. Having done the right thing as an officer of the law, Allison now feels compelled to do the right thing as a sister and aunt; she brings Tim’s two very unhappy teens into her home. Squeezing four teenagers under one roof proves to be an additional test of Allison’s strength and patience. It won’t be easy for her husband, her children or Tim’s kids either.
In addition to investigating local crimes, the series will also focus on the joys and struggles of the teens as they adjust to their new home, their new high school, make new friends and experience love, romance, anger and jealousy.
