is a
groundbreaking new show,

-

-

-
Part character drama and part murder mystery,
"Reunion"
tells stories
-
of love and loss, marriage and
death, triumph and scandal,
-
depicting the hopes and dreams
of 18-year-olds--and the realities
-
that mark those lives two
decades later.
-
-
Will (Estes) longs to leave his small town
behind. Aided by an athletic scholarship, he
is the first in his family to go to
college. Craig (Faris), handsome and
privileged, looks forward to the Ivy League
with his girlfriend, Samantha (Davalos), whose
ambition is surpassed only by her looks and
intelligence. The beautiful Jenna (Righetti)
dreams of becoming an actress, and behind his
cynicism, Aaron (Annable) dreams that his
relationship with Jenna will go beyond
friendship. Carla (Leigh), innocent and
quirky, must choose between loyalty to her
father and staying near her best friends.
-
"Reunion"
opens in the present day at the funeral of one
of the friends, whose death is being
investigated by Detective Marjorino (St.
Patrick).
-
Before the identity of the deceased is
revealed, we're transported back to 1986, as
the group celebrates their high school
graduation.
-
-
The pilot episode follows all six through the
summer of 1986, and we witness the formative
events that alter their dreams and desires
forever. Episode two finds the group a full
year later, in 1987; episode three tells the
story of a seminal event in 1988; and so on,
culminating in the season finale as the
friends celebrate their 20th high school
reunion.
-
-
"Reunion"
also builds towards answering two important
questions:
-
Which of the friends is dead?
-
And
who is responsible for that death?
