Burden of Truth is a ten-part serialised investigative drama<br />
about life-altering legal cases. Executive Producer and<br />
star Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty & the Beast) appears<br />
as Joanna Hanley, a ruthless, big-city corporate lawyer<br />
who returns to her small hometown for a case that will<br />
change her life forever.<br />
When a group of young girls are suddenly struck with<br />
a mysterious illness, Joanna is sent by her firm to her<br />
hometown of Millwood to fight the case defending a major<br />
pharmaceutical client. Joanna wins the case quickly and<br />
efficiently, crushing the girls and their small-town lawyer – her<br />
former high school classmate Billy Crawford (Peter Mooney,<br />
Rookie Blue, Heroes Reborn). But, after closing the case,<br />
Joanna realises the girls are sicker than anyone thought;<br />
the illness is causing uncontrollable twitching and seizures,<br />
making life unlivable. Medical tests have failed to uncover<br />
a cause and their symptoms are getting worse. Determined<br />
to find justice for the young girls, Joanna decides to stay in<br />
Millwood and build a new case with Billy to uncover the truth<br />
behind what’s causing the insufferable illness.<br />
As Joanna digs deeper into the case, she realises there’s<br />
not only a legal investigation in Millwood but a personal<br />
one. This is the town where she and her family lived until<br />
she was fourteen, before they suddenly packed up and left<br />
one night, never looking back. Joanna is convinced that all<br />
of the answers she’s been seeking about her broken life<br />
can be found in Millwood. And, if she’s going to fix herself,<br />
she must start where it all began – by uncovering her<br />
family’s deepest, darkest secrets.<br />

Cardinal<br />
Set in the town of Algonquin Bay in Northern Canada, Cardinal is a<br />
serialised drama based on the critically acclaimed novels by Giles Blunt.<br />
Cardinal follows detectives John Cardinal (Billy Campbell, The Killing)<br />
and Lise Delorme (Karine Vanasse, Revenge) as they investigate major<br />
crimes and unearth the darker side of their picturesque community.<br />
The series is executive produced by Sienna Films’ Jennifer Kawaja and<br />
Julia Sereny (Ransom).<br />
In the first season of Cardinal, detectives Cardinal and Delorme investigate<br />
the mysterious death of a young girl found frozen in ice. But as the case<br />
grows in scope and horror, a dark secret from Cardinal’s past threatens to<br />
derail the investigation.<br />

The #1 hit series returns for Seasons 2 and 3, each taking place in a different<br />
season of the year, highlighting the beautiful landscape of Algonquin Bay<br />
and the people and crimes that happen within it.<br />
Season 2 begins amid the lush and green summer, but longer days and<br />
warmer temperatures also bring black flies. The calm of the Algonquin Bay<br />
summer is shattered when a living gunshot victim is discovered with a bullet<br />
lodged in her brain. Even after emergency surgery, the victim cannot recall<br />
who she is, much less who tried to kill her. Cardinal and Delorme uncover a<br />
possible suspect, but when he also turns up dead, they realize they may be<br />
seeking something – and someone – far more twisted and dangerous than<br />
they imagined.<br />
Season 3 picks up in autumn, but the glorious fall colours of Algonquin Bay<br />
can’t hide a gruesome double murder for long. As Cardinal and Delorme’s<br />
detective work brings them precariously close to a doomsday cult with<br />
nothing to lose, Cardinal launches his own investigation into a case far more<br />
personal and dangerous.<br />

Based on the critically acclaimed novel, Caught is a<br />
stylish 1970s action thriller following convicted drug<br />
dealer David Slaney (Allan Hawco, Republic of Doyle,<br />
Frontier), who, with the help of a corrupt cop, breaks<br />
out of prison and travels across the globe to hunt<br />
down his drug king-pin ex-partner.<br />
Slaney was once a good man whose life was ruined<br />
when he trusted the wrong person. After getting into<br />
business with manipulative drug lord David Hearn<br />
(Eric Johnson, Fifty Shades Darker, Orphan Black),<br />
the pair are caught in an illegal trade by Officer<br />
Roy Patterson (Paul Gross, Barney’s Version). But<br />
Patterson’s alcoholism derails the operation and allows<br />
Hearn to escape incarceration, while Slaney is stripped<br />
of his freedom and loses the love of his life, Jennifer<br />
(Charlotte Sullivan, Chicago Fire, The Kennedys).<br />
To help him crack down on Hearn’s operation<br />
Patterson recruits ruthless DEA agent KC Williams<br />
(Enuka Okuma, Rookie Blue), but he knows he needs<br />
someone on the inside. Desperate for redemption and<br />
convinced Slaney will lead to Hearn, Patterson breaks<br />
Slaney out of prison.<br />
With the police hot on their trail, the unlikely alliance<br />
travels from Montreal to Mexico and Columbia to hunt<br />
down Hearn, facing mobsters, cops and con artists to<br />
clear Slaney’s name and deliver Patterson a oncein-a-lifetime<br />
bust. But in a face-to-face showdown,<br />
Hearn manages to convince Slaney to go on one final<br />
run that will set them both up for life - one that Slaney<br />
has little chance of surviving.<br />
Featuring suspenseful drama and a thrilling high<br />
stakes manhunt, Caught is a riveting tale of justice<br />
and betrayal, complex characters and treacherous<br />
seas of love, loss and last chances.<br />

Conviction<br />
Starring Hayley Atwell (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Eddie Cahill (CSI: NY) and Shawn Ashmore (X-Men: Days of Future Past),<br />
Conviction tells the story of Hayes Morrison (Atwell), the brilliant but rebellious daughter of a former President, who<br />
is blackmailed into taking a job as the head of New York’s newly created Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU). Hayes soon<br />
discovers that she enjoys digging for the truth at the heart of these mysteries, as well as beating a broken system.<br />
She, along with her team of lawyers, investigators and forensic experts, work together to examine cases where<br />
there’s credible suspicion that the wrong person may have been convicted of a crime. With only five days to come to<br />
a conclusion on each case, the team must question if the system failed, if jobs were done properly, if there was the<br />
possibility of a cover up and ultimately if justice was served.<br />
Bold, outspoken, dedicated and opinionated, the CIU team doesn’t always get along, but their clashes are nothing<br />
compared to what they deal with outside the unit. Facing opposition from cops, attorneys, medical examiners,<br />
scientists and judges, the team must question and challenge everything.<br />
The compelling and fast-paced legal drama hails from writer Liz Friedman (House) who serves as Executive Producer<br />
alongside Co-Creator Liz Friedlander (The Following), Mark Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy) and Nicholas Pepper (Quantico).<br />

Fear The<br />
Walking Dead<br />
Living in the same universe as the global phenomenon The Walking Dead,<br />
its highly-anticipated companion series Fear The Walking Dead is a gritty<br />
drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens<br />
of a fractured family.<br />
Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their<br />
pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high<br />
school guidance counsellor Madison Clark (Kim Dickens, House of Cards)<br />
and English teacher Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis, Training Day) have<br />
managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families<br />
takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution,<br />
a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family<br />
must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.<br />

Meanwhile, Daniel (Rubén Blades, Safe House) has become el soldado<br />

eight-part comedy-drama for E4 (UK) that follows a motley gang of travellers who embark on a three-month trip around<br />
Asia. British lads Sean and Dylan meet American girls May and Ashley in Beijing and opt to undergo the first leg of their<br />
travels together, but soon find that their journey takes them much further than any of them expected. The series features<br />

Despite wielding travel guides, digital cameras and water purification tablets, the gang is not treating this as a holiday,<br />
and all have a personal quest that’s brought them halfway round the world. Will the gang manage to find the nirvana they<br />
seek as they camp on the Great Wall, wade through jungles in Malaysia, rub shoulders with expats in Singapore and the<br />
crowds that throng the streets of Kathmandu? Or will they lose their money, their passports and control of their bowels<br />
in a filthy backpacking hostel that doesn’t exist on Google Maps? None of them get what they hoped for, but all gain<br />
something better, as they learn that no matter how far you go and how hard you try, you can’t take a holiday from yourself.<br />

Hell On Wheels<br />
The AMC Original Drama Series Hell on Wheels is an Emmy®-nominated contemporary Western series<br />
that tells the story of Bohannon’s journey, a story that rides on Union Pacific’s construction of the first<br />
transcontinental railroad. The Civil War is in the past, but former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon<br />
(Anson Mount, Lost) can’t put it behind him. Fresh are the horrific memories of the death of his wife, killed at<br />
the hands of the Union soldiers setting Bohannon on a course of revenge.<br />
Season 5 of Hell on Wheels sees the final push to finish the road and brings with it a reckoning for<br />
Bohannon and the men standing in his path: the bloodthirsty Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl,<br />
The Twilight Saga); the mercenary Chang (Byron Mann, Arrow), and the rapacious Thomas Durant<br />
(Golden Globe®-nominated Colm Meaney, Star Trek). Bohannon contends with corruption, greed and<br />
murder as he leads the Central Pacific through the Sierras and across the Utah desert to Promontory Point.<br />

Set in the late 1980s, the SundanceTV Original Drama Series<br />
Hap and Leonard is a darkly comic swamp noir adventure<br />
of two best friends, one femme fatale, a crew of washedup<br />
revolutionaries, a pair of murderous psycho-killers,<br />
some lost loot, and the fuzz. Based on the novels by Joe<br />
R. Lansdale, the series follows Hap Collins (James Purefoy,<br />
The Following), an East Texas white boy with a weakness for<br />
Southern women, and Leonard Pine (Michael Kenneth Williams,<br />
Boardwalk Empire, The Wire), a gay, black Vietnam vet with<br />
a hot temper. When Hap’s seductive ex-wife Trudy (Christina<br />
Hendricks, Mad Men) resurfaces with a deal they can’t refuse,<br />
a simple get-rich-quick scheme snowballs into bloody mayhem.<br />
In Season 2, Hap and Leonard: Mucho Mojo, Hap and Leonard<br />
find themselves in mucho-trouble as they unravel a murder<br />
mystery with more twists and turns than an East Texas highway.<br />
The story begins with a skeleton; Trudy’s missing ashes; a<br />
pissing match with a neighbourhood drug dealer, and a piece<br />
of MeMaw’s fresh baked pie. When Leonard is arrested for a<br />
murder he didn’t commit, Hap and attorney Florida Grange<br />
(Tiffany Mack, iZombie) must work to clear his name. The only<br />
things standing in their way are Hap’s unquenchable thirst for<br />
Florida; a serial killer; bad mojo; and themselves.<br />
Chock-full of eccentric characters, Hap and Leonard provides<br />
a country twist on the classic mystery thriller.<br />

Hidden America<br />
Critically acclaimed parody and sketch comedy series Hidden America hails from the<br />
hilarious Emmy®-winning Executive Producer Troy Miller (Arrested Development, The<br />
Office) and the Emmy®-nominated production company behind Flight of the Conchords.<br />
Comedian Jonah Ray (Mystery Science Theatre 3000) travels across America from<br />
city to city, visiting neighbourhood hot spots and tasting the local cuisine in the same<br />
style as a traditional travel series – but instead, the local people he interacts with are all<br />
fictional to shine a light on the culture truths that other travel shows won’t touch.<br />
Boston to Austin and Los Angeles to New Orleans, each episode of Hidden America<br />
brings to life a different major American city, as Ray finds himself in absurd scenarios<br />
with eccentric and unusual characters that include a liquored-up wine magazine<br />
editor in San Francisco, a mayor that is actually a goat in Austin and Seattle’s<br />
weather-induced depression.<br />
Having garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The LA Times, The<br />
Huffington Post and more, Hidden America was immediately renewed following its<br />
Season 1 premiere. Each episode of Season 2 brings another American city to life.<br />
But this season, Jonah surprises viewers and travels across the pond to explore<br />
Europe. Whether in the U.S. or the UK, Jonah is up to his old tricks: in each place he<br />
goes to, he realises that it is the local characters that make each city unique, and<br />
often they end up teaching Jonah more about himself than he expected.<br />
Hidden America features guest appearances from many recognisable faces<br />
including David Koechner (Anchorman), Randall Park (Trainwreck, Veep),<br />
Grammy Award winning Weird Al Yankovic, Joel Murray (Mad Men), Jorge Garcia<br />
(Lost), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), Joel Hodgson (Mystery Science Theater 3000)<br />

Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of Green & Green’s<br />
closure. Jake and Freddy’s finances and reputations are in<br />
shambles and they must find a way to rebuild – and to redeem<br />
themselves. The discovery of a magnificent rough diamond<br />
brings the promise of both, and could put the Green brothers<br />
back on top. But when Jake forces Freddy to tap into his inner<br />
demons to cut the stone, a rift begins to form between the<br />
brothers. A vicious war with their uncle Cam and the ultimate<br />
showdown with Lady Rah (Judith Shekoni, The Twilight Saga:<br />
Breaking Dawn), increases the gap, threatening to push the<br />
brothers apart forever.<br />
All the while, a personal tragedy drives Lady Rah to wage<br />
war on the diamond industry – from the inside, while Cam,<br />
ostracised from the family, joins forces with his estranged son,<br />
Malcolm (Ashley Thomas, 24: Legacy) in London, to navigate<br />
the dangerous and extremely lucrative underworld of blood<br />
diamonds and to bring down Jake and Freddy, permanently –<br />
no matter what the cost.<br />
Featuring a stellar on-screen cast and creative talent, ICE<br />

Into The Badlands<br />
The AMC Original Drama Series Into The Badlands is a genre-bending martial arts<br />
series, loosely based on the famous historical Chinese tale Journey to the West.<br />
Hundreds of years in the future, the Earth and most of its population have been<br />
ravaged by disaster. Lacking the sophistication of our current age, the survivors<br />
have regressed to an existence predicated on foraged latter-day technology and a<br />
culture of ruthless social Darwinism.<br />
Set in a land controlled by violent and feudal barons, Into The Badlands follows<br />
the ruthless and great warrior Sunny (Daniel Wu, Warcraft) and the young boy,<br />
M.K. (Aramis Knight), who together embark on a journey across the dangerous<br />
Badlands seeking enlightenment.<br />
Throughout their unplanned alliance, Sunny begins to discover what might be<br />
so special about M.K. Attacked and wounded in a slave battle, M.K. displays an<br />
otherworldly power. Despite Sunny’s reluctance to acknowledge it, he and M.K.<br />
are connected through their apparently humble yet mysterious backgrounds. But<br />
neither they nor most of the other surviving inhabitants have any idea that M.K. will<br />
be the spark that sets the once-stable citadel, and eventually the entire Badlands,<br />
aflame.<br />
The action-packed Season 2 of Into The Badlands is set six months after the<br />
Season 1 finale and finds both Sunny and M.K. stripped of their liberty, love, power<br />
and families. Taken prisoner far away from the Badlands, Sunny must find a way<br />
to escape to reunite with his child, while M.K. slowly becomes more aware of his<br />
powers. But everything changes when the mysterious Abbotts arrive; a group of<br />
skilled fighters able to control the Chi. Meanwhile, Quinn learns of Sunny’s plan<br />
and discovers M.K.’s power, which leads to an epic and violent battle.<br />

Mr. D<br />
Mr. D is based on Gerry Dee’s real-life experiences as a high school<br />
teacher before switching to a career in comedy. The premise shines<br />
the light on teaching from the teacher’s point of view, and as it turns<br />
out, teachers don’t know everything, especially Mr. D.<br />
Qualified to teach gym class, Gerry Duncan is instead hired in the<br />
social studies department of the prestigious Xavier Academy. Gerry<br />
struggles to stay ahead of his students as he fakes his way through<br />
each class, having decided that he knows enough to get by, and he<br />
can just improvise everything else.<br />
Season 6 of Mr. D begins where last season left off, with Gerry and<br />
Lisa (Lauren Hammersley, Orphan Black) coping with the aftermath of<br />
their horrific, drunken nuptials. The duo must navigate the minefield<br />
of their relationship and in the end land on an unorthodox agreement<br />
that blurs the line between teacher and boss, man and wife and<br />
happiness and misery. At the same time, Gerry forges ahead in his<br />
misguided efforts to somehow finally win the Phys. Ed. position that<br />
has eluded him for so long. Meanwhile, Robert (Jonathan Torrens,<br />
Trailer Park Boys) will find himself fulfilling a couple of his own lifelong<br />
dreams, reaching new heights both personally and professionally.<br />

S1: 6 × 30 MIN – NEW<br />
30-year-old AJ is a successful radio host, but his personal life is a mess. When he<br />
discovers that his long-term girlfriend has been having an affair with his best friend,<br />
AJ finds himself single for the first time in 10 years.<br />
Created by leading Australian comedy talent, Matt Okine, who stars as AJ,<br />
The Other Guy is a funny and raw look at the complexities of dating and relationships<br />
in the modern age. It balances pathos with achingly honest humour as it charts<br />
AJ’s journey through a strange new world, treating the universal themes of racism,<br />
community, family, love, loss, sex, and infidelity with a light touch and razor-sharp wit.<br />
Co-starring Valene Kane (The Fall, Rogue One) and Harriet Dyer (Love Child,<br />
No Activity), the series is produced by Aquarius Films (Lion, Wish You Were Here),<br />
and penned by Matt Okine, Becky Lucas (Please Like Me), and Greg Waters<br />
(Soul Mates, Dance Academy).<br />
Now that he’s a minor celebrity and has some money to his name, AJ is dealing<br />
with his heartbreak the only way he knows how: binge drinking, inappropriate and<br />
offensive behaviour, the misuse of Class A substances, and sexual entanglements<br />
that leave everyone involved feeling slightly soiled.<br />
He may have found success, but he’s lost the person he wanted to share it with.<br />
And while Liv cheated on him, she’s also funny, beautiful, and fond of the little<br />
things that make AJ feel insecure, including a receding hairline and small white<br />
dots on his penis.<br />
Ultimately there is no amount of drink, drugs, or sex with strangers that can protect<br />
him from one of the harshest – if most common – realities of adulthood: heartbreak.<br />
The Other Guy is an adaptation of multi-award-winning comedian Matt Okine’s<br />
hit stand-up show. It is a frank and no-holds-barred exploration of sex, love, and<br />
identity in the digital age – and of just how difficult it can sometimes be to take<br />
responsibility and grow up.<br />

Private Eyes<br />
Private Eyes is an engaging primetime procedural private detective drama<br />
featuring two strong and forever-competing characters investigating high-stakes<br />
cases of the week. Ex-professional sports player Matt Shade (Jason Priestley,<br />
Beverly Hills, 90210) irrevocably changes his life when he decides to team up<br />
with fierce P.I. Angie Everett (Cindy Sampson, Rookie Blue) to form an unlikely<br />
investigative powerhouse.<br />
Returning for a super-sized 18-episode second season, Shade has officially<br />
joined Everett Investigations as Angie’s partner, but they quickly realise<br />
they have contrasting views of how the business should run: Angie prefers<br />
strategic thinking, while Shade jumps in with both feet. One thing’s clear: their<br />
contrasting skillsets yield results when it comes to solving cases. As their<br />
success grows, the cases get bigger and more sophisticated, plunging them<br />
into the diverse worlds of auto racing, real estate, high fashion, and private<br />
school privilege. Through all the bickering and disagreements, there’s an<br />
undeniable romantic attraction between the two – something they’ll have<br />
to acknowledge sooner or later. Golden Globe®-winner William Shatner<br />
(Star Trek, Boston Legal) guest stars as a private investigator nemesis to Angie.<br />

Together they combine their unique skills with gut instincts to take<br />
control of the negotiation and secure the safe release of the hostages.<br />
Eric’s extraordinary negotiating abilities come at a price. His<br />

Nathalie, whom he deeply loves, to leave with daughter Evie.<br />
Blending mystery and emotional drama with a kinetic, ticking-clock<br />

Saving Hope<br />
Pulse-pounding surgeries, adrenaline-fuelled breakthroughs and sultry<br />
romances fill the episodes of medical drama series Saving Hope. When<br />
tragedy strikes Hope Zion Hospital and Chief of Surgery Dr. Charlie Harris<br />
(Michael Shanks, Stargate Atlantis) ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital<br />
in chaos and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance,<br />
Smallville), in a state of shock. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris<br />
explores the hospital halls in ‘spirit’ form, not sure if he’s a ghost or a figment<br />
of his own imagination. Meanwhile, Dr. Reid and her fellow doctors press<br />
on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the<br />

The AMC Original Drama Series The Walking Dead, the worldwide<br />
phenomenon and television’s most watched drama, tells the story<br />
of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse. It<br />
follows a group of survivors, led by former police officer Rick Grimes<br />
(Andrew Lincoln, Love Actually), who travel in search of a safe and<br />
secure home. Over time, the characters are changed by the constant<br />
exposure to death and some grow willing to do anything to survive.<br />
The Golden Globe®-nominated series returns for an epic eighth season<br />
and sees Rick bring ‘all-out war’ to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan,<br />
The Good Wife) and his forces. The Saviours are larger, betterequipped,<br />
and ruthless – but Rick and the unified communities are<br />
fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are<br />
drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.<br />
Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but<br />
it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that<br />
they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will<br />
be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces,<br />
Maggie (Lauren Cohan, Batman V. Superman: The Dawn of Justice)<br />
leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel (Khary Payton, Young Justice)<br />
leading the Kingdom – Negan and the Saviours’ grip on this world<br />
may finally be coming to an end.<br />

Drug Wars<br />
For more than 40 years, the U.S. government has waged a war on drugs.<br />
Millions have been put in prison, billions spent on enforcement, and yet the<br />
price of street drugs keeps going down, while the quality keeps getting better.<br />
Drug Wars is a candid look at the kingpins that have moved from simply trading<br />
drugs to taxing businesses and running human trafficking networks, their<br />
control of towns along the U.S. and Mexico border, and the frustrated locals<br />
that have taken matters into their own hands in an attempt to fight back.<br />
In the third season of Drug Wars, attention is returned back to American<br />
soil, where this decades-long war continues to threaten the stability of<br />
American cities. Exploring current trends in drug-related crimes, looking<br />
specifically at their rise in the U.S., despite efforts to legalise marijuana in<br />
some states.<br />
Season 3 looks deeper into the men and women who protect American<br />
borders, not only to keep illegal immigrants and drugs from entering<br />
the country, but even more importantly to keep vigilant on far worse<br />
contrabands possibly related to terrorism and other sinister activities.<br />

HIGHLIGHTS
A Christmas<br />
Princess<br />
Against the backdrop of Christmas in Southern California comes<br />
A Christmas Princess, a heart-warming story inspired by true events<br />
about one brave high school girl who overcomes her difficult past to<br />
become one of the elite princesses in the world-renowned royal court<br />
of the Tournament of Rose Parade.<br />
The young women of the Rose Parade act as ambassadors for the<br />
community, and most people naturally assume they come from<br />
privileged lives — but for Princess Donaly Marquez (Nicole Munoz,<br />
Fantastic Four), nothing could be further from the truth.<br />
After being removed from their drug-addicted and neglectful mother,<br />
Donaly and her two younger siblings are placed into the difficult<br />
and uncertain world of the foster care system, where they struggle<br />
between homes for years. Eventually they are taken in by the loving<br />
Marquez family and adopted. But the impermanence of her history<br />
has left Donaly scarred, afraid to truly believe that good fortune<br />
has finally found her, and more importantly, whether she deserves<br />
happiness and can ever escape her genetic destiny.<br />
It’s not until she goes through the Tournament’s challenging selection<br />
process that she finally makes peace with her past and fully embraces<br />
her loving new family, as well as herself, just in time for the holidays.<br />

great insight, but the reality is that she is single, with four cats. When new CEO Will Harrington takes<br />
over the company from his ailing grandfather, Darcy is appalled by his bottom-line approach and fears<br />
that he will institute massive lay-offs.<br />
Even though Darcy and Will clash at first, there’s a powerful chemistry between these two — if only<br />
they can get past the misunderstandings and miscommunication that may doom their romance before<br />
it truly begins!
