Whistler is a Canadian television drama centring on the aftermath of the mysterious death of a local snowboard legend. The series was created by Kelly Senecal and developed by Patrick Banister, John Barbisan, Mindy Heslin, and Susan James. The show begins when Beck McKaye returns home from the 2006 Winter Olympics with a gold medal. Upon his death, the show explores the lives of his friends and family—all of whom have stories to tell and secrets to keep. The secret-keeping locals are the only ones who can answer the terrifying truth of the show's tagline, "What secrets lie beneath the... snow?" McKaye's friends and family each have their own stories, as well as secrets they attempt to hide as the show progresses. In particular, Beck's brother Quinn must try to solve the mystery of Beck's death. Following the solution of Beck's death at the end of the first season, the series' second season shifts the focus to the lives and adventures of both returning and new characters. The McKayes, Varlands and Millers have put the pieces of their lives together and are ready to make a new start.
