From airplanes and booze running to American G-men, Communists and union busters, Frankie’s fearless sense of adventure gets her into all kinds of trouble, but she always manages to find her way out.

Seasons
Season 1
Season 2
Season two delivers a slate of new adventures as the ladies of Drake Private Detectives take on more challenging cases and face off against some impressive foes. The team is great at what they do, but things are made more complicated for them this season with the arrival of Detective Tom Greyson. Transferred to Mary's Station House from Hamilton, the quietly handsome Greyson is more than a little wary of the red-headed female PI he keeps running into at crime scenes. He and Frankie play a slow burn game of cat and mouse, growing closer as the season progresses but do either of them want the complications that being more than friends would invite?
Season 3
The third season sees Frankie face a family secret while episodes bring her and the Drake Private Detectives team into the world of British aristocrats, illegal boxing, the supernatural, and political fundraisers.
