Mint, a darkly comic and unconventional drama about what it means to be part of a crime family.
This series chooses not to focus on the usual suspects – the godfather or the heavy – preferring instead to follow the kids, the mum and the grandma in the family. It's a story about the love, darkness, humour, heartbreak and plain weirdness of living alongside that world, and what happens when you're forced to take control of it.
Shannon is obsessed with the love story of how her parents met - all she wants is her own romance to sweep her off her feet. But finding love is tough when you're the only daughter of a notorious crime family. When Shannon meets Arran, she thinks her luck has finally changed. She feels the spark. But will her family allow it when they realise who he is?
