Irish eyes aren’t exactly smiling in this mystery thriller when Fiona (Alicia Silverstone), an L.A. divorce lawyer, descends upon the Emerald Isle to confront her long-MIA father, Declan (Jason O’Mara). Still steaming 30 years after he abandoned his daughter and mother (Wendy Crewson), Fiona is puzzled when she receives a mysterious package from her dad. The mystery deepens when she arrives in County Wicklow to a most unpleasant surprise, including the realization that Declan’s Irish family never even knew she existed. Her search for answers leads to a briefcase that, as Declan explains in a message, contains “evidence against the criminals who tore me from my family.” The series launches with two episodes.
