Wild Season Lyrics
It's been a wild season I stay alone, skipped a stone, from the known to the unknown Feeding fires, spinning tyres, getting even And for a while, I made you smile, saw the voodoo in you child Girl, you know you are the reason It's been a wild season I know the reasons not to break your heart It's been a wild season I know the reasons still I.

Plot[edit]
The series focuses on the conflict between the McGregors, a family of wealthy oil developers residing on Montrose Ranch, and the Henrys, a widow and her three daughters living in the neighbouring Rivercross Ranch. Prior to the series, Rivercross used to belong to the McGregors, but was given to the Henrys by the now-deceased head of the McGregor family. The current head of the McGregor family, David, resented this decision and wants to take back Rivercross. Shortly before the beginning of the series, David McGregor provided a loan to the Henrys to help them operate their ranch with the promise to repay $10,000 back monthly. As the series begin, the Henrys have defaulted on roughly $60,000 in monthly payments, and David tries to foreclose on the property.
Main characters[edit]
The Henry Family[edit]
- Maggie (Kim Huffman) is the widowed mother of three daughters, who sought the financial aid of her neighbour David McGregor in order to support her family. Maggie is a strong woman, ripe with clear values and morals only impeded by her superficial mother (Kate Trotter).
- Kate (Michelle Harrison), Maggie's oldest daughter, works on the ranch primarily trying to keep Rivercross afloat.
- Lucy (Sarah Power), Maggie's second daughter, assists with the ranch, but has taken on other jobs for the security of a regular paycheck.
- Charlotte (Clare Stone) is Maggie's youngest daughter, and is adopted into the family.
The McGregor Family[edit]
- David McGregor (Gary Hudson), the CEO and president of McGregor Oil, is a wealthy oil baron who is trying to acquire Rivercross Ranch from the Henrys. He has offered a sizable operating loan to the Henrys but when they could not pay the monthly mortgage, he has intentions to foreclose and take the ranch. He has discovered a vast oil find in the region.
- Will McGregor (Steve Byers), the smart and educated son works with David.
- Peter McGregor (Adam MacDonald) is the complete opposite of Will, effectively the black sheep of the family.
- Rebecca McGregor (Amy Ciupak Lalonde) is the conniving daughter who will quite readily seduce David's business partners to help sway the business in favour of the McGregors. She is currently engaged to Trevor Faulkner (Paul Christie).
Other Characters[edit]
- Trevor Faulkner (Paul Christie) is a member of the Alberta Legislative Assembly and fiancé to Rebecca. The relationship between Rebecca and Trevor appears to be one of mutual benefit. In Episode 6, it is discovered that Trevor had a previous homosexual relationship with former university buddy Ethan. Rebecca learns of this and turns a blind eye.
- Dillon Parker (Dylan Neal) is a geologist who has begun dating Maggie. When she finds out that Dillon is David's geologist, Maggie is hesitant but continues the relationship, only to discover that he later disappears. (Episodes 1-6)
Production[edit]
The show is primarily shot at The Window Studio as well as on location in Calgary, Alberta, and surrounding areas within a one-hour drive such as Bragg Creek and Bearspaw.
- McGregor Oil, The Henry Home and Crossbar Ranch (interior) scenes are filmed at The Window Studio in Calgary. The McGregor Ranch is shot at a home located in the rural community of Bearspaw, northwest of Calgary.
- The Broken Shoulder restaurant is located in Bragg Creek.
Common shooting locations around Calgary include Stephen Avenue, Inglewood, Bankers Hall Towers and numerous locations in the downtown core. One of the major shots commonly seen in the series is the overlooking Rocky Mountains and rolling foothills, a signature landscape associated with Calgary.
Opening Credits Theme[edit]
The opening theme song is Scottish singer KT Tunstall. 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree' was a hit single and released in February 2005. The song was also featured on Tunstall's album Eye to the Telescope, and also on American Idol (Season 5).
Scenes shown in the opening sequence feature various locations within Calgary and its remarkable skyline. Watermarked in the sequence is the family trees of the McGregors and the Henrys. Locals to the Calgary area will notice landmarks such as the Cash Corner in Inglewood, skyline shot from the northeast corner of Memorial Dr and Deerfoot Tr (freeway intersection), Bankers Hall, Calgary Stampede, to name a few.
Symbolism[edit]
The sequence is key to show the two-way spectrum of Good and Evil between the two families.
- Henrys represent the 'Good', white, wholesome, do-gooder
- McGregors represent the 'Bad', black, greed, opportunistic
At the end of the sequence this is visible among a large table, McGregors on the right side dressed in black, and dining in what appears to be a catered event. On the opposite end of the table, the Henrys dressed in white and dining in what appears to be a casual and more wholesome event. This is the epitome of the series and the basis of which these two families rest their principles upon.

I used to drink Old English and speak broken English
The kiki this Venus said she is in love with my penis
Every evening she was living to see them, until I see them
Yeah, men are from Mars, and girls are from Venus
Life's no games - I used to drink until my brain blanked
Insane for kane talking faster than a man'd think
I spent millions on friends who didn't love me
The image in my mirror of life appeared ugly
Self-entropy drove me cold like a winter breeze
Fear as a winter tree, yeah I wasted centuries
Running wild, then the birth of my child struck me
Realisation, I learnt how to smile, wow
What I know now, I wish I knew then
I may have had a clue of what to do then
I may have gotten out of these bad situations
Running around town with no destination

You asked me how did I get home
Where'd you get those bruises from?
You left your shoes, can't find your phone
You didn't sleep here on your own
What did you do? Where did you go?
Truth is I don't really know
Oh, is this love? It's not enough
Just one sip and I can't stop
I'm too far out, too far to reach
From below you call to me
Don't get too close, I'm flying high
I feel too beautiful to die
Let me tear, oh I don't care
See the horror in your stare
Watch me spin, oh watch me run
Watch me burn up in the sun
