But with only one opening for three trainees, Dani's faith in herself is tested each and every call. Dani believes her calling is to save lives. Now, she has to prove it.

Great American Family also announced a Q1 launch of the first of many mystery franchises, original movies centered on the lighter side of mysteries and whodunnits and starring fan favorites from the network's family of talent.
