This hour-long drama was perhaps ahead of its time. It was a program that focused on relationships and individual identity. Because of its size and diversity, Canada offered the perfect backdrop to the stories it told. For example, one story was about the long distance relationship between a Toronto Radio host and a photographer in Vancouver. Another featured the tale of an American draft dodger looking to go into Canadian politics. Each of the characters was basically in search of a purpose and direction in their lives. The title of the series was from a song by R&B singer, Otis Redding.
