The show is a Canadian import, premiering in 2018 and airing two seasons there before this current premiere of Season 1 for the first time in the U.S. Not only was the show created by a pair of women, it is driven by a strong main cast made up entirely of women.

We have an exclusive first look at the premiere episode, where Frankie learns that a stolen pearl necklace has been taken by someone trying to frame her long-dead father, a con artist.

In the clip below, Frankie receives a visit from Toronto Star reporter and friend, Ernest Hemingway (Steve Lund), where he apologizes for offending Frankie with a story he’s working on. While there, he shares an unearthed photograph from Frankie’s childhood.
