Hallmark has announced the arrival of a brand-new signature mystery movie, which will make its debut this May. The film – which stars Amanda Schull, Brendan Penny, Gerard Plunkett, Isla Crerar, Jett Klyne, and Greg Kean – is called Family Practice Mysteries: Coming Home, and focuses on a retired army medical examiner who uncovers a murder in a small town.

Describing the new movie, Hallmark said: “Dr. Rachel Hunt (Schull) is a smart and intuitive small-town family doctor. Once a trauma surgeon in the US army, after losing her husband in combat, she retired her commission and is now settling into a quiet, new life back home with her widowed father (Plunkett) and her teenaged twins, Chloe (Crerar) and Matthew (Klyne).

“When favourite patient Ross Alexander (Kean) suddenly dies shortly after Rachel gave him a clean bill of health, she cannot shake the feeling that there is more to it. Her attempt to involve the authorities is met with resistance by charming police detective Jack Quinn (Penny), who wants to help, but is not convinced that this is anything more than a death by natural causes.

“Rachel puts her background in military forensics to work and starts to investigate what could possibly have caused the beloved newspaper editor’s death. With support from community friends, new and old, Rachel persuades Quinn to keep digging.

“But when finding the search for a killer puts Rachel’s life in danger, she realizes that small town life will not be nearly as quiet as she had planned.”
