A mysterious illness targets high school girls and brings lawyer Joanna Hanley back to her hometown. In a town that's as familiar as it is foreign, Joanna seeks to convince the locals that her family's hurried departure when she was a teenager wasn't her doing. She is drawn into the shadowy world of hackers, political movements, and activists. When Joanna becomes the target, someone from her past shows up to try and alter the course of the events. With unemployment rates rising, tensions in town are running high, leaving some to retreat further from town.

02/22/2021 Please let this pandemic be over if only so American networks will stop picking up seriously crappy Canadian shows. The CW picked up this show -- it is so bad. The writing is dreadful, so wooden and phoned-in. Between this and Nurses, it's hard to say which is worse (slight edge to Nurses for the worst).

It goes beyond the courtroom and takes you behind the curtain of those involved and how these cases affect them. The show is filmed beautifully and the acting is fantastic! A must watch!
