Over the past four seasons, Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory) has leaned on her family to strike a balance between her professional and personal lives. This season, as Abby is processing the consequences of her kiss with on-and-off again ex-boyfriend Trace, she contemplates a future on her own terms and proves her mettle as her father’s new business partner. Still dealing with the aftermath of his legal troubles, they are thrown a a new challenge when eccentric young billionaire Evan Kincaid (Buckley) brings a new development project into town and gets under Abby’s skin. Watch to see how this Hepburn-Tracy relationship develops throughout the season!
