What happens

Hope Island is an American drama series that originally aired on PAX TV from September 12, 1999, until April 3, 2000. It was based on Ballykissangel, a popular Irish drama created by Kieran Prendiville that aired on BBC One. The series ran for 22 episodes, and focused on the residents of the fictional Hope Island, a small island off mainland Washington State (likely a part of the San Juan Islands though an island of the same name exists in the Case Inlet in the South Puget Sound) with a population of 1,998.
