TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around a tough and experienced female police officer from Seattle, Allison McLean (Kelli Williams). Like most working women, her hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe), and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen) and Rachel (Natasha Calis).
She and her partner, Devin (Dion Johnstone), must arrest her brother, Tim (Luke Perry), for aggravated assault. As a result, her world drastically changes. Tim is convicted and sent to prison and this leaves his two teenagers — Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond) and Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener) — teetering on the brink of foster care.
Having done the right thing as an officer of the law, Allison now feels compelled to do the right thing as a sister and aunt. She brings Tim’s two very unhappy teens into her home. Squeezing four teenagers under one roof proves to be an additional test of Allison’s strength and patience. It’s not easy for her husband, her children, or Tim’s kids either.
Episode #10 — Protect and Serve
Allison and Devin uncover the shocking truth at the heart of a turf war in Crestview. Allison and Matt take the entire family to visit Tim in prison. Jackie, feeling jealous of the way Cameron looks up to Allison, makes a tragic choice.
First aired: October 14, 2015.

I have only just discovered the series on PureFlix and was hooked instantly on the first episode. I was disheartened when I learned that it was not renewed but figured I would just make the best of it. I literally just finished the “finale” and am mortified. There is SO MUCH MORE to the story that I cannot believe it never got renewed. I don’t mean to sound too dramatic, but when I read a book with a cliffhanger, I can always buy the next installment. When I finish a TV series with a cliffhanger, I can always wait for… Read more »
I loved Season 1 of “Ties That Bind”. It was nice to have a show that did not have any swearing. Please consider making Season 2 so we at least know how everything ends.
Hoped for another season
