Plot

It's a time travel drama about the lives of three generations of Landry family women. "More than 20 years prior, life changing events prompted Kat to move away from her small, Canadian farm town of Port Haven and she remains estranged from Del to this day. Alice has never met her grandmother and is unaware of the reasons for their fractured family. With Kat's marriage coming to an end and having just been laid off from her job, she decides to return home after receiving an unexpected letter from Del urging her to come back. Although Alice is none-too-thrilled, Kat and her daughter arrive at her family's farm, though the reunion isn't what Kat had envisioned. As the three generations of women slowly work on finding their footing as a family, they embark on an enlightening - and surprising - journey none of them could have imagined as they learn how to find their way back to each other."[3]

Synopsis

The series follows three generations of Landry women who embark on a journey to find their way back to each other while learning important lessons about their family’s past. Alice falls into the pond on the family property & emerges to discover she's back in the 1990s & unwittingly becomes best friends with the teenage version of her Mom named Kat. She discovers the time when her Mom and her family were happy before the tragedies that broke the family apart & drove Kat to run away & get married, resulting in her birth. Then she starts wondering if she might be able to prevent that tragedy & save her Mother named Katherine & Grandmother named Delilah from twenty years of grief. The only confidante she has is Elliot who was friend-zoned by Katherine then & now is her high school science teacher in the present day. But even as Elliot continues to carry a torch for Kat, he doesn't believe in changing history or if it's even possible.
