When mystery bookstore owner Samantha Kinsey (Kellie Martin) finds her birth
mother she also discovers a dead man in the woman�s living room in Mystery Woman,
�At First Sight,� a Hallmark Channel Mystery Movie premiering Saturday, January 21
(9/8 c).

Williams III (�Mod Squad�) and Casey Sander (�Grace Under Fire�). �At First Sight�

Scott Michael Campbell (�Christy� with Kellie Martin), Eyal Podell (�Behind Enemy Lines�)
and John Aprea (�Another World�).
A recurring nightmare and vision problems present Samantha with a new
boyfriend, handsome eye-doctor Ben Stafford (Podell), and a problem. She needs to
know her family medical history. But she has never told anyone that she accidentally
found out that she was adopted. Assistant District Attorney Cassie Thomas
(Sziemasko), and the son (Schlatter) of the lawyer who arranged her adoption, help lead
her to the door of her birth mother (Harrold), half-sister (Lakin) and stepfather (Aprea).
When the local sheriff (Campbell) arrests her mother for murder, Samantha
suspects her new found family is hiding some unsavory truths. Meanwhile, Philby
(Williams), the bookstore�s normally unflappable manager, is taken by surprise by a visit
from his former agency partner (Cole), on the trail of a psychic spy whom Philby supposedly took out years before. It seems Police Chief Connors (Sander) is holding the
dead man for drunk driving and the former partners need to get to him.
