"Every dream has its price."

In 1956, British citizens respond to an Australian migration scheme promising a better life and good employment prospects for a mere £10. For Annie and Terry Roberts, and their two children, a move to Australia offers a way for Terry to escape the scars of his service during WWII. In contrast, Kate arrives as a young nurse and claims to have migrated on her own due to her fiancé not wanting to make the move, but the real truth behind her journey is something else entirely.

X Company

An emotionally-driven character drama, set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII espionage and covert operations. It follows the stories of five highly skilled young recruits - Canadian, American and British - torn from their ordinary lives to train as agents in an ultra-secret facility on the shores of Lake Ontario. These agents parachute behind enemy lines, where they're fair game for torture and execution. From elegant hotels to hellholes in the field, it's one risky operation after another, masterminded by the brains of Camp X.
