Episode 1
In summer 2020, Alex, Susannah and their little boy Cedar pack up their London home and drive the 700 miles to start a new life on a ten-acre croft on the Isle of Uist, in the Outer Hebrides. They are determined to live the good life, but with no jobs, a new house to build and no farming experience, they are straight in at the deep end.
Susannah has mixed feelings about returning to the island where she grew up, having never felt like she belonged, and, as the only black guy on the island, Alex has his own fear of not fitting in.
Episode 2
It's nine months since Alex and Susannah left London for their new life in the Outer Hebrides, and they are beginning to settle into island life. Alex gets a traditional crofting job cutting seaweed, while Susannah starts work at the local art centre. But it's not all plain sailing for the young couple, as they face delays on their house build, Susannah comes to terms with her unhappy childhood, and Alex faces the harsh, life-and-death reality of crofting life.
Episode 3
It's a year since Alex and Susannah made the big move, and Alex, missing the buzz of city life. heads back to London to catch up with family and friends, leaving Susannah behind to look after the animals on the croft. However, it's not long before Alex is craving the open space of the Outer Hebrides, so he heads back to his rural life, taking his city-girl mum with him for a visit - and it's a bit of a culture shock for her! Alex finds a new way to get around the island, Susannah takes up teaching in Gaelic, and, at last, there is some good news on the house build.
Episode 4
In the final episode of the series, Alex and Susannah make it through their second winter on the island, and, despite their initial concerns of being outsiders, they have been welcomed by the community. Alex helps a local crofter take sheep on a crazy boat ride to an island for common grazing, his neighbours come to his rescue when he runs into trouble at sea, and, nearly two years after they first arrived in Uist, the dream of building their own home is finally becoming a reality.

Homestead Rescue
In the last decade, two million Americans have attempted to leave behind civilization in favor of life off-the-grid – but most have failed. For the hundreds of families who decide to become homesteaders, the learning curve is a steep one. Now comes Homestead Rescue. Struggling homesteaders across the country are turning expert homesteader Marty Raney--along with his daughter Misty Raney, a farmer, and son Matt Raney, a hunter and fisherman--to teach them the necessary skills to survive the wilderness. The stakes are high, but the Raney family is determined to prepare these families for nature's worst and set them up for success. Each family faces the ultimate decision: will they tough out their first year or pack up and return to civilization?
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.
