The reunion of the Party of Five stars Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf will attract the attention of many. They play estranged brother and sister Lindsay and Brad. They each went separate ways at adulthood and that left resentment. That resentment gets lip service for a while but the two quickly act far friendlier toward each other than the backstory would imply. But the big story in the plot is that their mom, also estranged from them, is heir of a duke. Lindsay meets Mac, the estate manager, and they begin developing a romance, but that plot thread is secondary to the family reconciliation and their dealing with issues related to their inheritance. The acting is mostly OK, but somehow I didn't feel it much from Scott Wolf. I think I was put off by his over enthusiasm which could have been overacting. The dialogue was also OK with some funny moments. We saw a bit of Scottish scenery and traditions. There were no great highs or lows or surprises. The tension was all relational and didn't involve any threats to body or livelihood. One mystery to me was Mac's brother-in-law. The actor looked familiar but I couldn't place him.
