Episode 1
Old friends Antaine Ó Donnaile and Cormac Ó hÁdhmaill undertake an epic kayaking adventure on the River Erne. The start of their journey brings unexpected obstacles and fast-flowing currents, but also the opportunity to visit ancient monuments at Lough Gowna and to see the meticulous restoration of a Georgian manor, Lismore House, in the historic village of Crossdoney.
Joining members of the Killashandra Comhaltas group, Antaine and Cormac enjoy some traditional music in the surroundings of the town's ancient church. They spend the night at the ruins of Trinity Island's monastery and find out how history and religion go hand in hand on many of the area's islands.
After paddling through the strategically important town of Belturbet, the friends take on their final challenge to master something neither of them has attempted before - paddle boarding - and they discover it isn't as easy as it looks! The first leg of their journey ends on Upper Lough Erne as they settle in for another night under the stars on an island belonging to the Hare Krishna community, Inish Rath.
Episode 2
After three days paddling through Cavan and Fermanagh, Cormac Ó hÁdhmaill and Antaine Ó Donnaile are halfway through their epic adventure. The 100-mile-long expedition is testing their determination and strength, but it holds many rewards.
After spending the night with the Hare Krishna community on Inish Rath, Cormac and Antaine travel from one end of Upper Lough Erne to the other, meeting mummers and historians, and calling in at Enniskillen Castle before reaching the holy island of Devenish a few miles north of the town. The distinct call of the cuckoo in the unspoilt landscape of Fermanagh moves Cormac to tears.
Episode 3
The boys from the Erne, Cormac Ó hÁdhmaill and Antaine Ó Donnaile are on the final leg of their epic challenge to paddle the length of the second-longest river in Ulster.
After battling ferocious weather on the broadest part of Lough Erne, Antaine joins local historian Gearóid Mac Lochlainn in the magnificent and peaceful peninsula of the Castle Caldwell Estate to hear about the visionary founder of Belleek Pottery, John Caldwell Bloomfield, and they try their hand at some pottery at the factory itself. Leaving Belleek, the only thing between them and their final destination is a set of hydroelectric dams. Having paddled through counties Cavan and Fermanagh, will they manage to complete their mission to travel the length of the river Erne to the Atlantic Ocean?

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.
