Jane Seymour looms on the cover, but the main focus is on her character's daughter, Emma (Annabelle Stephenson), who looks like she could really be closely related. The basic premise is standard TV drama: a young woman who moved to the big city to escape her farming community life returns to the parental home for a funeral and gets involved in local matters. In this instance the girl is a fashion reporter who suspects foul play. As she investigates one thing, she uncovers truths about the deceased, a person she thought she knew. On paper it's all too familiar, but the direction (Alex Ranarivelo) and score (Jamie Christopherson) help it be one that feels like it grew beyond its original agenda; in that respect, it exceeded expectations.
