The series is a time travel drama about the lives of three generations of strong, willful and independent Landry family women who embark on a journey to find their way back to each other while learning important lessons about their family's past.
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.
