As the title suggests, Big Sky is set against the gorgeous natural backdrop of Montana's mountains, forests, and rivers, but what's happening here is neither pretty nor natural. Two women and best friends, Cassie (played by Kylie Bunbury) and Jenny (played by Katheryn Winnick), run their own private investigator business in Helena, MT. Jenny is married to Cody, played by Ryan Phillipe (a local Delaware native!), and they have a teen son named Justin, played by Gage Marsh. In the first episode, Justin is waiting for his girlfriend and her sister to drive in from out of town for a visit. The two sisters, Danielle (played by Natalie Alyn Lind) and Grace (played by Jade Pettyjohn) are shown in their car, singing along to music and enjoying their road trip. Then disaster strikes as the two young girls are abducted on a deserted highway. Justin alerts his parents that they never showed up and aren't answering their phones, and soon both the police and Jenny, Cody, and Cassie are searching for the girls and investigating. Montana State Trooper Rick Legarski, played by John Carroll Lynch, is brought in to help with the search, but he doesn't seem worried and explains that lots of young women go missing from this area all the time. Soon, another young woman, Jerrie (played by Jesse James Keitel), is kidnapped from a truck stop by a creepy guy named Ronald, played by Brian Geraghty. And the twisty tale is off!
This is a tense and suspenseful story, with plenty of
surprises you will never see coming. The acting is all top-notch from
this ensemble cast, and the writing is excellent. The plot is classic
thriller, with plenty of action and suspense in every episode. We have
just started the newly begun second season, and I couldn't tell you
anything about it without giving away all kinds of spoilers from season
1--a lot happens in every single episode, to keep you guessing
(and watching). Oh, and it's got a great soundtrack behind the action,
too! We've been waiting for this new season to come back, and this
compelling, gripping show has already shocked us and taken us by
surprise, in the first episode of season two. This is one of our
favorites these days, in part because it doesn't fit the typical mold.
Highly recommended for mystery/action/thriller fans.
Big Sky is currently airing on ABC on Thursday nights or you can catch it On Demand or streaming on Hulu.

Just wanted to thank you so very much for your blog! I stumbled across it last week, and it has already given me so much information that I didn't have previously! I have three children with ME/CFS, and it has been a heart-breaking and difficult road. Thank you for passing along all of your treatment plans, medicines, herbs and recommendations. I just saw where you have a Facebook Parent Support Group that I would also like to join. Please keep up the great work! You are doing a tremendous service.
Hi, Tammy - and welcome!

It is an incredible group of parents from all over the world, full of compassion and support but also very well-in formed and always happy to help others - it's a great community. Here's the link:

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment - so glad the blog has been helpful to you so far. With kids, I would recommend that diagnosing and treating OI be one of the first things you do, as it often brings dramatic improvements (for adults, too). More on OI:
