In this slice-of-life melodrama from Colorado studio Deck Nine, Alex Chen moves out of the care system and to a mountain town named Haven Springs to reunite with her estranged older brother, Gabe, who has made a comfortable life for himself there among the old miners, young hipsters and calming, snow-capped scenery. Predictably she's not there long before tragedy strikes, and Alex must use her superpower - reading people's heightened emotions, arm outstretched like a cartoon psychic - to dig into what happened. Sometimes the insights that Alex gains from her emotional mind-reading are one-line expressions of fear, joy or dissatisfaction that point you towards an easy way to help or an amusing character insight: the owner of an ice-cream store is worried about going out of business; the older chap in the bar turns out to be part of a tontine. Alex plays acoustic guitar, and at one point gives a wistful rendition of Radiohead's Creep. Haven Springs is quaint enough to have its own record shop and dispensary. The people here are, generally, sweet and well-meaning and fairly two-dimensional, even after we dive into their emotions to explore their backstories. There's some darker, thornier stuff here, for sure, especially around Alex and Gabe's traumatic childhood and the secrets that a couple of the characters are harbouring.
