Evermoor Pilot Part 1

## Plot

Parents Rob and Fiona have married, and now their children have to learn to live with each other. They're also of different nationalities. Fiona, Tara, and Jake are American, and Rob, Bella, and Seb are British. You can tell Tara isn't American though. She sounds more British, and her actress, Naomi Sequeira, is Australian. Seb is short for Sebastian, but I just call him Zeb, because that's what it sounds like when the actors pronounce it. Tara thinks she sees a figure in their new house, but the others dismiss it as her overactive imagination. The mayor was in the house to welcome them. Tara is the source of inspiration for her mother's books, and she loves writing. Tallulah Brinkworth is her fictional alter ego in her mom's best selling books. The house, Evermoor Manor, used to belong to her great aunt Bridget. She left it to them in her will. Tara once visited her when she was little. There was a room she wasn't allowed in, and the door to said room is locked. Tara wants to use it as her writing space. Her new step brother Seb likes science. Bella is a typical girly girl. And honestly acts more stereotypically American than Tara. Jake is a normal kid, energetic and mischievous. Bella and Jake find a boy named Ludo Carmichael. He's looking for his mother, Crimson. She is, or rather, used to be, the housekeeper. Tara finds the key to the room, and remarks that someone hid it to keep people out. In the room, she finds a tapestry. An old woman named Esmeralda Dwyer tells her about the tapestry. She says that it can tell the future. Sure enough, Tara's family is on the tapestry. Esmeralda is a member of the Everines, a group of women who claim to have the gift to predict the future. Aunt Bridget was Chief Everine before she passed away. Now Esmeralda is the chief. Tara attempts to touch the tapestry, but Esmeralda tells her that the thread must never be unpicked. That is the Eternal Law. Tara asks what a symbol on it means, but Esmeralda doesn't tell her anything else. She can't write in the room, because the Everines use it to predict the future. But… Tara's family owns the house now. Esmeralda predicts that Evermoor Manor is going to be on fire. And the only family member missing is Bella… Yeah, Bella walks into a room that has a support beam on fire. No one is hurt, and the fire is put out, but Tara knows that the prediction still came true. Seb accidentally stood on Bella's phone, which called his phone. He has two missed calls from it. Bella has to room with Tara for now. They're both very happy about it. Sarcasm. Seb finds a lantern that apparently started the fire. The mayor and the Everines are holding the Festival of Fate on their lawn. The mayor's daughter, Sorsha Doyle, though I call her Sasha, likes Seb, and Seb likes her back, but Everines and Everines in training aren't allowed to date. They're like nuns, but with a more creepy cult vibe mixed in. Plus her father is the mayor, and overly protective of her. Upset that her family doesn't believe her, Tara investigates a sinkhole, failing to notice the sign: DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE PATH. She almost falls in, but is saved by a handsome boy. His name is Cameron Marsh. They're a lot alike, and they both love books. Tara's dad is back in the U.S., and she doesn't hear from him a lot. Cameron is an orphan, and all he knows about his mother is that she was an Everine. The Everines can't predict the future without the Golden Thread, otherwise they're powerless. Tara likes Cameron, but Cameron likes Bella, and Bella likes him back. Tara awkwardly leaves. No! No love triangles! Tara sets up a space for herself to write in the tapestry room. A hand appears behind the tapestry, but no one is there. Tara finds a note, which says that the truth is in the Beacon. It's like a lighthouse to make sure people don't fall into the sinkhole at night. Tara shows Seb the note. He thinks the fire wasn't an accident. Someone stood on Bella's phone, which called him, went to voicemail, and recorded everything. There's static, and the ringing of bells. Despite Seb telling her not to, Tara goes to the Beacon. She finds a typewriter inside with the Wonderland-esque message, Try me! She types some sentences about herself and a goat. She looks under a table, and finds said goat with glowing eyes. She screams at the top of her lungs.

## Review

I really like this show, even if it only airs in the U.K. I really like Naomi Sequeira. She sings the end credits/theme song, For Evermoor. *I left my friends for my new life How will I know it's gonna be alright I gotta take control And write my destiny The future is still untold Nobody else can see That this will be For Evermoor*
