A forensic geneologist is asked by a family friend to track down the biological father of her son (also a good friend) because he needs a bone marrow transplant.
It's a good idea for a series and the story was involving and dramatic. I am a Niall Matter fan. He played the twin brother of the sick guy (Morgan David Jones) and love interest. I am a fan of Mr. Jones as well, and not only for his resemblance to Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy).
What I didn't like was that even when they know a man's life was at stake, supposed friends and loved ones would not share details of what they knew about the missing man. Particularly egregious was the step father. I did not particularly blame him for sending the returning from the dead husband of his wife away when he was a young newlywed, but for not sharing information that he knew about him with the heroine detective in the present. Again, even when the son he raised life was on the line. I just don't have the words. But all was forgiven at the end. Why? Also the two couples acted like teenagers rather than mature adults. Particularly the secondary couple. They were cute, but when his feelings for her were so obvious, why didn't she ask him out if she had been waiting so long for him? Grow up!

Evil Step Father
Hit home
While this may be another "hallmark movie" this is on a different scale of a 'mystery'. This really hits home for anyone out there who is adopted or has any questions about their heritage. I felt this on a couple different levels. Very good acting for all involved and well written script. As someone (me) who isn't sure of familial history, this made me think of how things could have been different, had I only known. Can't wait for the next episodes as they kinda left us with a cliffhanger with the main actor on this one. This is for sure the best new series on Hallmark by far. And I have seen them all.
