What is it About?

Sophie McClaren (Parrish) is a genealogist who’s an expert at digging up the past and
bringing families together. When her close friend Jonathan (Morgan David Jones, “Murdoch
Mysteries”) urgently needs to find a bone marrow donor, it brings his twin brother (and Sophie’s old flame) Jackson (Matter) back into her life. With Jackson’s help, Sophie must use her skills to track down the brothers’ long-lost birth father – a man they never even knew existed – in time to save Jonathan’s life. Ultimately, growing closer to Jackson on this search gives Sophie the push to finally explore the mystery of her own adoption.
