A gorgeous location, a romance to fall in love with, and food we’re going to wish we could eat ourselves? Sounds like the perfect movie! TV Insider has learned exclusively that Emilie Ullerup and Michael Rady will star in a new Hallmark movie for its Summer Nights lineup, Catch of the Day. The film was co-written by culinary star and author Katie Lee Biegel, who also stars in it. It will premiere on Saturday, August 30, at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. Check out a photo of the three stars above. Catch of the Day is described as “a celebration of coastal charm, culinary passion, and the bonds that bring us back to where we belong.” Hallmark Media promises breathtaking views of Montauk, mouthwatering dishes, and a romance worth rooting for, making it something for both foodies and romantics. In the film, Sophie (Ullerup) is a rising culinary star on the...

Family secrets and missing people are the bread and butter of the Justin Hartley-led CBS procedural, Tracker. The beloved procedural does, however, take some time out for matters of the heart, as seen in Season 1 and in the first episodes of its sophomore season, as Hartley's Shaw reignites his relationship with Gina Picket's sister, Camille (Floriana Lima). Colter has also, throughout the show's two seasons, had a very clear, emotional connection with Fiona Rene's Reenie. While the pair are yet to explore a romance between themselves, they've been involved with others. Looking ahead to Season 3, showrunner Elwood Reid has discussed the potential direction romance takes for these two beloved characters.

Speaking with Screen Rant, Reid was quizzed regarding Colter and his lack of a partner, and if it benefits the show at this point. "I think it's hard because I don't know if people judge or not,...

One of the major shakeups early on in Tracker Season 2 saw Fiona Rene's Reenie Greene quit her job and start up her own firm. This meant a new space and, of course, new clients as well. It also allowed Reenie the opportunity to work out in the field with Justin Hartley's Colter on occasion. One of Reenie's new clients is the mysterious Leo Sharf (Pej Vahdat), who smelt like trouble from the very first moment. Ultimately, the ruthless businessman did bring that perceived danger to Reenie's doorstep in Season 2's penultimate episode, with Reenie's life severely threatened. While the season finale was mainly about Colter and his discovery at Echo RIdge, the episode checked in on Reenie, who is still visibly shaken from her ordeal but apparently, is still in the employ of Leo. Why could that possibly be?

Kidnapped and staring down the barrel of a gun,...

The second season of Tracker has completed its run and with its season finale came an earth-shattering revelation regarding the circumstances behind the death of Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen). It is a moment that negatively impacted the Shaw family in the Justin Hartley-led CBS procedural. The drama has been renewed for a third season and while Hartley's Colter and his siblings will have to deal with this new piece of information somehow, the upcoming season will also look to flesh out another character. Fiona Rene's Reenie Greene has been a mainstay since the series premiered in 2024. Despite working as legal counsel for Colter and their occasional romantic tension, not much has been revealed about the character. Showrunner Elwood Reid reveals that is all about to change in Season 3.

Reid, in an interview with ScreenRant, was quizzed about whether Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany) would have a bigger role...

Justin Hartley and Melissa Roxburgh in ‘Tracker’ season 2 episode 19

Melissa Roxburgh returns as Colter’s sister, Dory, on CBS’s Tracker season two episode 19. Roxburgh only appears for a few minutes, with Dory passing along a mysterious box of their dad’s. Dory doesn’t think there’s anything important inside, but Colter (Justin Hartley) recalls their dad always thought someone was trying to steal his ideas. He’d lost his academic credibility, but Colter thinks something in his research might have gotten him killed.

Their dad was a genius, but Dory points out that he was losing his mind toward the end.

Reenie (Fiona Rene) calls and asks Colter to come to Seattle because an assistant to her client Leo Sharf is missing. Before he leaves, Dory asks Colter not to obsess over the items in their dad’s box.

Francie has been missing since this morning and Leo...

Tracker Season 2, Episode 18, titled "Collision", saw Justin Hartley's lone wolf survivalist, Colter Shaw, head out to Willow Creek, Michigan, to help rescue a missing girl, who was abducted for the baby growing inside of her. While the small town provided enough drama to make a city proud, Colter managed to solve the case. Next up for the world famous rewardist is yet another abduction, and this time around, it involves his attorney and friend, Reenie (Fiona Rene). In this Sunday's all-new episode, Colter and Reenie are headed into the field as a tag team. "When Reenie's client, Leo Sharf, hires Colter to track down his missing assistant before his company launch, the case takes a personal turn and Reenie becomes entangled in a deadly vendetta threatening both of their lives," reads the official logline for Episode 19, "Rules of the Game." CBS released a sneak peek of the episode, which...

Will the couple ever have a real romantic relationship, Colter having kept her at arm’s length all this time?

Reenie’s New Guy—What Are The Chances?

A central theme in Tracker revolves around the potential relationship between Colter and Reenie.

A significant event from a few years back has caused Colter, who is always on the lookout for rewards, to keep Reenie at a distance. However, Reenie has now moved on and is involved with a new character, Elliot Rusch, played by Michael Rady.

This development raises questions about the future of their will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic. Actress Fiona Rene offers insights that could illuminate this intriguing storyline, which is poised to take center stage in the latter part of Tracker Season 2.

Colter’s In The Big Apple In “Neptune”

Colter has traded the vibrant greenery of the forest for the bustling streets of New York City in Tracker Season 2, Episode 13, titled “Neptune.” This solitary figure now faces a myriad of unpredictable challenges in the urban landscape.

In this gripping episode, Justin Hartley’s character finds himself navigating a world filled with danger, evading bullets and perhaps encountering some mysterious magic from a local conjuring club.

Previously, in “Monster,” Colter was on the hunt for a missing mother along the East Coast. Now, as he steps into the chaos of the Big Apple, viewers are left...

Elliot (Michael Rady) nearly made an unforgivable mistake in TrackerSeason 2, Episode 11, "Shades of Gray." A case he brought to Colter (Justin Hartley) turned out deeper than anyone thought and nearly cost Colter his life. While Reenie (Fiona Renee) understood it might have been a mistake, she could not ignore the circumstances. How did Elliot come to be involved with the mafia? Was he lying when he said he had no idea Hale (Amy Pietz) was part of organized crime? However, Rene told TV Insider that Reenie will give Elliot "the benefit of the doubt." The actress discussed her character's understanding of this situation, saying:...

Reenie (Fiona Rene) is giving a hands-on approach to helping Colter (Justin Hartley) with his latest case. In the March 9 episode of Tracker, “Monster,” he is hired to find a mother in Ohio who went missing after tucking her son in for the night. Reenie just so happens to be nearby to assist. Plus, yes, there’s the mystery involving Colter’s family and his father’s death, but Tracker is also teasing out a new one in the form of Reenie’s new client. TV Insider caught up with Rene to see what else we could find out about that client, where Reenie and Elliot’s (Michael Rady) relationship stands, and much more. Things seem to be going well between Reenie and Elliot, but how does she feel about where they stand right now? There was a question of what he did and didn’t know, if he was telling the truth,...

Fiona Rene as Reenie Greene and Michael Rady as Elliot in ‘Tracker’ season 2 episode 11

CBS’s Tracker season two episode 11 dives into Reenie’s relationship with Elliot and finds Colter taking on a case involving one of Elliot’s clients. Bobby, played by Eric Graise, remains missing and Abby McEnany’s Velma doesn’t appear in the episode. Instead, Colter calls Randy, played by Chris Lee, for help with this week’s missing person.

(Spoilers ahead!)

Elliot (Michael Rady) visits Reenie (Fiona Rene) at work, bringing flowers and claiming she’s too busy to remember to spend time with her boyfriend. He easily convinces her to take a break, and things are getting hot and steamy when Elliot gets a call from a new client. It’s serious enough that Reenie calls Colter for help.

Colter (Justin Hartley) is still traveling the East Coast and agrees to head to New Jersey.

Christmas Con was held the weekend of December 13th-15th and Soap Hub was there to cover all of the action! Check back daily during Christmas week for new content from your favorite soap stars and actors from Hallmark and Great American Family Channel. Check out our video interviews with B.J. Britt, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Michael Rady, Christopher Russell, Drew Seeley, and Corey Sevier below!

B.J. Britt

Britt has starred in a number of Hallmark films, including: The Groomsmen: First Look, The Groomsmen: Second Chances and The Groomesmen: Last Dance, co-starring with Tyler Hynes and All My Children alum Jonathan Bennett (J.R.). Britt was also named one of People magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive this past November.

Benjamin Hollingsworth

Hollingsworth stars on the Netflix series Virgin River and can be seen in the Hallmark films Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane, alongside One Life To Live alum John Brotherton.

Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley)'s favorite lawyer has been building a business in Tracker Season 2. Reenie Green (Fiona Rene) not only started her own practice, she basically adopted Velma (Abby McEnany) after the handler's wife Teddi (Robin Weigert) went out of town to take care of a sick parent. Reenie also, as we saw in Episode 5, has been casually dating a man named Elliott (Michael Rady) – who conspicuously has not shown up since.

Hallmark viewers have missed Michael Rady this holiday season. However, there is good news. In a new interview, the Where Are You Christmas? star recently reported that he will be back on the feel-good channel as well as on another episode of Tracker.

What did the Christmas At Pemberley Manor star reveal?

Hallmark fans have missed Michael Rady this Countdown To Christmas. The Sisters Of The Traveling Pants star is chuffed. In a new interview with Heavy, Rady reveals he is in a new movie and will soon be in another episode of Tracker. What did he say?

Firstly, Michael Rady feels the love. When told that Hallmark fans missed him this season, he clutched his hands to his heart. He then said, “I’m sorry! Let me just say – I feel loved.

Sometimes. Everyone can see the proverbial sparks flying except, perhaps, for the two individuals involved. However, it hardly seems to be the case between Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) and Reenie Green (Fiona Rene) as the pair seem well aware of their mutual interest in one another. Despite the pair's messy history being made known in Season 1 of Tracker, romance has failed to bloom. In this week's episode, titled Noble Rot, Colter and Reenie team up to solve the case of a missing woman. The case comes up while Reenie is away on a retreat with her plus one, Elliott Rush (Michael Rady). So what does this mean for a Colter-Reenie romance going forward?...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Tracker Season 2 Episode 4 “Noble Rot.”] Tracker introduced a messy history between rewardist Colter (Justin Hartley) and lawyer Reenie (Fiona Rene) in the first episode, and since then, it’s been a question of will they/won’t they—but at the same time, neither is waiting around. Colter’s had other love interests, and Reenie brings a plus one (Michael Rady‘s Elliot) to a retreat in the latest episode. At the end of “Noble Rot,” Reenie remarks that she can really count on Colter, especially with work, and he says he hopes Elliot knows how lucky he is. Is that sort of closing the door on anything happening between Reenie and Colter, at least for now? “He’s known that I have been open and available and interested, and he’s been so shut off to it. And then even in the pilot, you walked out? So I think...

Fiona Rene and Justin Hartley in ‘Tracker’ season 2 episode 4

Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) heads to California’s wine country for CBS’s Tracker season two episode four, “Noble Rot.” Quinn Ridgely, co-ceo of a software company, has gone missing from a high-end wellness retreat in Napa Valley. By the time Colter’s called in, she’s been gone for nine hours.

Reenie (Fiona Rene) is already at the retreat with her plus one, a handsome man named Elliott Rush (Michael Rady), when Colter arrives. Quinn’s wife, Gray, is offering the reward, but Reenie warns that the retreat’s owner is leery about bringing in an outsider to investigate.

Reenie says Gray believes this is a case of corporate kidnapping, but she doesn’t think so. There are lots of security cameras, but they haven’t caught any sign of Quinn on the grounds. Gray explains she was on a sunset hike when Quinn disappeared.

Tracker spoilers and updates tease it’s time for episode four of season two. This episode will feature Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) quite a bit, convincing Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) to take an intriguing case.

Tracker Spoilers – Following A Familiar Pattern

To begin with, it is essential to highlight that the upcoming show will continue the recent trend of featuring well-known guest stars. This time, the talented Michael Rady, recognized for his roles in Magnum Pi and Chicago Med, will grace the screen as Elliot Stern.

The narrative promises to evoke a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of the acclaimed series Nine Perfect Strangers, which starred Nicole Kidman and previously aired on Hulu.

In the episode titled “Noble Rot,” the plot revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a woman from an exclusive wellness retreat in Napa, tailored for CEOs. Colter is tasked with finding the missing woman, which may be more difficult than expected.

Not much is publicly known about Robert Shinn, the elusive and mysterious founder of 7M Films and the pastor of Shekinah Church – as seen in Netflix docuseries Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult. Indeed, Shinn seems to prefer to stick to the background and let the talent assembled by his agency get all of the attention.

Founded by Shinn and son Isaiah Shinn, 7M Films is not the biggest talent agency in the world, or the most successful, but it might be one of the most viral. 7M traditionally has not been looking to boost working actors to new heights, but to tap into a talented community of self-motivated dancers, singers, musicians, and performers who have the skills necessary to go viral on TikTok with a little help from 7M. However, viral videos and brand partnerships aren’t Robert Shinn’s first attempt at getting a taste of Hollywood glory.

A revival of ’90s hit “Melrose Place” is in the works at CBS Studios, with original stars Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton set to return, TheWrap has learned.

The Darren Star-created night-time soap followed the complicated lives of several 20-somethings who lived in a Los Angeles apartment complex called Melrose Place, where the drama included a bombing, a drowning and a “Dynasty”-esque pool fight.

Locklear played advertising exec Amanda Woodward, whose addition to the show late in the first season helped boost ratings at the time. Zuniga played Jo Reynolds on the series from 1992 to 1999 while Leighton played Sydney Andrews, sister of Josie Bassett’s character Jane.

Lauren Gussis of “Dexter” and “Insatiable” fame is set to write and executive produce the revival, which would see the “Og residents” returning when one of their friends die. Per the logline, the reunion “uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances,...

Tis the season to be scary and Screambox has got you covered with a trio of brand-spanking-new Christmas-themed horror movies that go perfectly with cookies and milk in front of a warm fire.

Now streaming on Screambox from the director of Jason Goes to Hell is Secret Santa and the awesomely creepy anthology Night of the Missing.

That’s not all! Just in time for Christmas break, Santastein will make the long winter’s nights anything but silent on Dec. 19.

Since Black Christmas, holiday films have been a refreshing sub-genre within horror. These films offer a much-needed contrast to the “all is well” narrative that is so often depicted in seasonal films. The angst and anxiety of holiday horror offer a cathartic release because for many the holidays are not perfect, and we don’t see ourselves in the yuletide rom-coms.

In fact, Screambox has more than stocking stuffers, with...

A makeup effect from Jason Goes to Hell made a surprise cameo in director Adam Marcus' 2018 movie Secret Santa. The director still had old makeup from the Friday the 13th movie and decided to reuse it to create a $10,000 effect for Michael Rady's death scene in Secret Santa. Marcus noted Rady's resemblance to his brother Kipp Marcus, who played Officer Randy Parker in Jason Goes to Hell.

It has been revealed that a makeup effect from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday made a surprise reappearance decades later. The 1993 movie, which was directed by Adam Marcus, was the ninth entry in the Friday the 13th slasher franchise. It featured the iconic killer Jason Voorhees revealing the heretofore unseen power of transferring his soul into new bodies and continuing his Crystal Lake rampage anew while possessing various people across town as he pursues his last remaining family members...

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw 3D, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The final installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Secret Santa and the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. He also teases several projects that are in the works, including a monstrous collaboration with special effects legend Robert Kurtzman.

Secret Santa was born out of Marcus and his writing partner/wife Debra Sullivan’s frustration with the lack of creative control they had on their two previously produced screenplays, 2013’s Texas Chainsaw and 2015’s Momentum. “Artistically, it just started to feel really hollow. I was like, ‘Did I get into this to make money, or did I...

Sleigh bells ring and it’s that time of year again, with Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” officially underway. The annual holiday event features all-new Hallmark Christmas movies premiering on the Hallmark Channel on TV and — love ’em or hate ’em — the films have become a beloved holiday tradition for millions of viewers each year.

This year, viewers can also get into the festive films by streaming Hallmark holiday movies online.

The frightful weather outside has nothing on the family gathering in Secret Santa. Adam Marcus, who is best known for unleashing the gonzo Friday the 13th entry Jason Goes to Hell upon the world, truly outdid himself with this over-the-top Christmas horror movie. Which is saying a lot considering the events of Jason Voorhees’ sole ‘90s outing. After some time away from the genre, though, Marcus returned in 2018 with a comedy as black as coal. Christmas cynics will naturally be drawn to the promise of a family going off the deep end during the holidays. However, this seasonal shocker may prove to be too much even for the biggest of scrooges.

For many folks, Christmas is the most joyous time of the year. For April Pope (A. Leslie Kies) and other members of her family, it’s the most dreadful. The director’s own internal struggle with Christmas is channeled...

This year's crop of films features a number of new faces and fresh plots to immerse you in the scent of pine trees and the sound of Christmas carols, as well as some relatively familiar faces, such as John Travolta's sister Ellen, who stars in "Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up."

Don’t look now, but it is getting very close to the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, the holidays are still a few months away, but holiday movie season is just around the corner.

Hallmark is delivering 40 brand-new original films across its multiple platforms with new movies premiering on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night all season long. The festivities will kick off on Friday, Oct. 20 and will run around the clock throughout the holiday season.

Hallmark has revealed that it will have 40 all-new, original movies for both its flagship channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as well as special content for Hallmark Movies Now, the company’s subscription streaming service.

Even though the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacted TV and film productions, Hallmark anticipated the labor dispute by getting a head start on production in Canada. “Christmas is a year-round business at Hallmark, so we were able to mitigate early in the year understanding that the strikes were unfortunately imminent,” Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, was recently quoted as saying. “We’re grateful to meet all our goals for a full, all-new holiday slate and to bring our viewers the content they love most to celebrate the season.”

Regarding the return of Magnum P.I., it's a good news-bad news situation for fans.

Let's go with the good news first. Unlike many scripted programs, the second half of the NBC series' fifth season will return on Oct. 4, earlier than was previously announced.

The bad news is that these episodes are likely the end for the Magnum reboot. After saving the show following its cancellation by CBS, NBC managed to run it into the ground before canceling it yet again. Yup, it's been that kind of season for Magnum.

Here's everything we know about the probable Magnum final ride.

Has Magnum P.I. been renewed?

No, sadly, just the opposite. It's been a roller-coaster couple of years for those involved with Magnum.

For four seasons, the Jay Hernandez-starrer was a pretty sturdy performer for CBS. Granted, ratings expectations for Friday prime-time are a fairly low bar.

In May 2022, CBS shockingly...

Rick is getting close to figuring out what’s going on in the teaser for NBC’s Magnum P.I. season five episode six. “Dead Ringer” will air on Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt.

Jay Hernandez leads the cast as Thomas Magnum, Perdita Weeks is Juliet Higgins, Zachary Knighton stars as Orville ‘Rick’ Wright, Stephen Hill is Theodore ‘Tc’ Calvin, Amy Hill is Kumu, and Tim Kang plays Det. Gordon Katsumoto.

“Dead Ringer” Plot: Katsumoto’s hearing date has arrived and he will learn if his career in law enforcement is over for good or not. Magnum and Higgins are hired to investigate a man their client believes committed murder. Rick’s suspicions grow on their relationship.

The following contains spoilers from the first two episodes of Magnum P.I. Season 5 on NBC.

Magnum P.I. this Sunday night kicked off its NBC run with, yes, steamy shower smooching and extra-flirty banter between the newly coupled Thomas and Juliet. We also saw that Katsumoto, though at first resigned to being sidelined at the Hpd (and replaced with Michael Rady’s Det. Childs), has instead decided to fight for his job; Kumu will be helping out at La Mariana as Rick juggles fatherhood; and said new dad is now crashing as Magnum’s place, until he can close on a new,...

The Hallmark Channel is best known for its Christmas movies, but there are a huge number of non-holiday, winter-themed offerings in their lineup. The latter is a great reminder that Christmas is not the only thing that makes winter a magical season.

It may be cold outside, but these Hallmark movies will warm anyone's heart, and provide plenty to appreciate before spring arrives. So grab a warm blanket, make some hot cocoa, and don't forget slippers.

Updated on December 24, 2022 by Aya Tsintziras: The line-up of 2022 Hallmark Christmas movies is just as sweet and festive as ever, but fans of the channel shouldn't forget the many movies that are set during the wintertime. There are several New Year's Eve movies, including 2021's A New Year's Resolution starring Aimee Teegarden and Michael Rady. These movies are worth watching for the chemistry between couples and the romantic settings. From a writer visiting a...

When Magnum P.I. jumps to NBC later this season, Michael Rady will be along for the ride.

TV Line reported Monday that the Timeless, Melrose Place, and Chicago Med veteran would be a part of the highly-anticipated fifth season.

The outlet states that he will play Detective Childs of the Honolulu Pd in a recurring capacity.

Rady is a popular actor who has appeared in many beloved projects, so there is undoubtedly a lot of excitement about his role on the CBS-turned-nbc procedural.

Magnum P.I. was canceled by CBS earlier this year, despite commanding strong ratings (to the tune of 7.3 million viewers and a 0.7 rating) on Fridays.

The numbers were relatively stable vs. its previous season, but the show was not owned by CBS.

“Every year, there’s a couple of tough ones, and this was one of them,” CBS president Kelly Kahl told The Wrap following the controversial decision.

Magnum P.I. has added a new (yet familiar!) face as it moves into its new home on NBC.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Michael Rady (Chicago Med, Timeless) will recur during Season 5 of the island drama as Detective Chris Childs of the Honolulu Pd. He will make his debut in the Season 5 premiere (date Tbd).

Even if you’ve never once set foot in a movie theater, you probably know about AMC’s Nicole Kidman ad. It’s a spot so serious — so wildly self-important — that it’s taken on a life of its own. Shot by an Oscar nominee, written by an Oscar nominee and starring a one-time winner walking in the rain, it’s practically begging for a Saturday Night Live parody. This weekend, it finally got one.

The sketch might be a little late; the ad first appeared over a year ago. It’s been hashed and rehashed online countless times. Tweets have been shared,...

The first rule of comedy is make fun of yourself before anyone else can and, in the season opener of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, they did just that.

With the loss of seven cast members and the addition of four unknown quantities (two stand-ups, a comic actor, and a TV writer), the show’s first cold open of Season 48 went full metacomedy.

No, you should not worry that Cecily Strong has given Saturday Night Live an Irish good-bye amid so many other Season 48 cast changes.

Strong is absent from the new opening credits that were recently filmed in New York and which debuted during this weekend’s season-opening telecast, setting off some speculation about her whereabouts and status with the show.

But the simple truth...

NBC’s La Brea opened Season 2 this week by unleashing fresh drama in the form of, yes, a new tribe of jackholes and a pair of warring rhinos. But it also caught viewers off-guard with a personal predicament for Izzy Harris, who is an amputee.

In the course of hoofing it from (what she, Gavin and Ella thought was) Seattle circa 10,000 B.C. to Los Angeles, Calif., Izzy lost her footing, and in doing so accidentally put enough pressure on her left leg prosthetic to make the socket crack.

Exclusive: Haskiri Velazquez, Michael Rady, and Amy Hargreaves are among the cast of the teen musical romance Intermedium from Mainframe Pictures. An exclusive photo of Velazquez as “It Girl” Nina Romero can be found below.

Emily Keefe and Beau Minniear return from the 2018 short film of the same name with a cast that also includes Sean Allan Krill (Dopesick), Julie Halston (Sex and the City), Jesse Posey (Selena), and Sadie Scott (Sweetbitter).

Nina is described as savvy, motivated, and effortlessly cool—but a dark cloud lingers beneath the facade. Haunted...
