Abby and Riley

Abby, 16, is mum to Riley, seven months. She fell pregnant at the age of 15 but things didn't go according to plan. Abby, boyfriend Jake and her mum Lara were told there was an 80 per cent chance Abby's child would be severely disabled and would never walk or talk. As the doctors predicted, Riley wasn't breathing when he was born and he was rushed to intensive care. Tests found a cyst and enlarged cavities in his brain which could be life threatening. But a week later he was out of hospital.

Now juggling motherhood with studying for 13 GCSEs, Abby hasn't missed a day of school since having Riley. She's determined to get her qualifications and provide a good future for her son. Abby's also desperate to find out exactly what's wrong with Riley; he has clubbed feet, webbed hands and he can't smile or suck properly. He's undergoing numerous tests but Abby still doesn't know yet if his condition is life threatening. She's looked online and thinks she might have found out the condition Riley is suffering from, but will doctors be able to give her a final diagnosis?

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
