Introducing Ties That Bind

The Christian-based cable network UP Channel will debut their first original scripted drama Ties That Bind on Wednesday, August 12 at 9/8c.

The series focuses on Allison McLean (Kelli Williams from The Practice and Army Wives), a tough and experienced police detective in suburban Seattle.

Like most working women, her hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe from Hell on Wheels and Perception) and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen from When Calls the Heart) and Rachel (Natasha Calis from The Firm).

But when she and her partner, Devin Stewart (Dion Johnstone from Defiance and Stargate: SG-1), must arrest her brother, Tim Olson (Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210), for aggravated assault, her world drastically changes as Tim is convicted and sent to prison leaving his two teenagers Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond from Good Witch) and Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener from Once Upon a Time and Falling Skies) teetering on the brink of foster care.

Having done the right thing as an officer of the law, Allison now feels compelled to do the right thing as a sister and aunt, bringing Tim’s two very unhappy teens into her home. Squeezing four teenagers under one roof proves to be an additional test of Allison’s strength and patience. It won’t be easy for her husband, her children or Tim’s kids either.

Here is a trailer for Ties That Bind:
