A troubled life has led Kris Furillo (Genevieve Corteese) to juvenile hall where her only friend is a failed racehorse named Wildfire. Both have lost the will to trust and the faith to beliebe in anything, least of all themselves. But whenever Kris rides Wildfire, somethig happens. They feel free and suddenly dreams seem possible. The real world slips away and the past can't catch tem.

Desperate for a second chance, Kris accepts a job at the Raintree Horse Farm, owned by the Ritter family. The Ritters use to be at the top of the high stakes, winner take all racing world, but now they desperately need a winning horse to keep Raintree alive.

A beautiful outsider in a ruthless world of ealth and power, Kris soon discovers that she must live bu a different set of rules and learn to open her heart.

But can she trust the people of her new world especially when everyone has so much at stake?

Premieres Monday, June 20 at 8:00pm.

Anyone else think it looks interesting?

I do. I checked out the website on ABC Family, but there's not much on it.

Still, I can't wait for this show.

From the title, I thought my girl, Karen, had her own show!

I might check it out if I remember to. I'm in the need for a new teen show.

Anyone else catch the series premiere on ABC Family? I kinda liked it although I'm afraid the lead actress is trying to channel Joey Potter most of the time.

I was more feeling the chemistry between Cris and Kenny than I was with the Dawson wannabe.

*Stacy* · 06-20-2005, 10:27 PM

I didn't get the Joey feel at all.

Loved Kris with Matt and thought this show was fun to watch. Will definitly watch next week.

I didn't catch the episode. ....

I didn't get the Joey feel at all either, to tell you the truth. I was definitely feeling Kris and Junior(Kenny) more than Matt as well. Matt just bored me.

See I thought the actor who played Matt was trying to channel Joey Potter.

But I really like the show. And I love NV. And the guy who plays Matt because he used to be Jamie on AMC.

I didn't like him on AMC.

But I don't like this new Jamie either.

Does anybody know where I can find screencaps?

Yeah

I was trying to place my finger on where his character felt familiar.

I liked the show well enough.... but maybe it'll get better?

Hee, me too! I like that she isn't totally taken by him and thinks he's a jerk. It'll be interesting to see how they interact.

Syd(*nathanhaley*?), you can find Kris-based screencaps at http:///www.genevivecortese.com, but they're a little small.
