Ep 1. Revenge

The show Straight Forward revolves around the life of a Danish woman named Sylvia Petersen, who has left her criminal lifestyle behind and is leading a peaceful life in New Zealand with her daughter, Astrid. The first episode of the show, titled "Revenge", begins with Sylvia receiving a shock when her father, who she assumed was dead, resurfaces. Her father, Olaf Petersen, is a notorious criminal who has cheated Sylvia and her daughter of their inheritance. Olaf returns to New Zealand to make amends with Sylvia and claim his share of the inheritance.

Sylvia, who has always been aware of her father's criminal ways, is not ready to forgive him. She is determined to get back all the money that her father has stolen from her and her daughter. However, things take a turn for the worse when Olaf is kidnapped. Sylvia is the prime suspect, and the police are after her. Meanwhile, Astrid is asked to leave school because Sylvia can't afford the fees. It's a tough time for Sylvia and Astrid, but Sylvia decides to take matters into her own hands.

Sylvia has a plan to get back her money from her father. She enlists the help of a man named Eddie, who is an expert at breaking into safes. Sylvia and Eddie plan to break into Olaf's safe and get back the money that he stole from them. However, Sylvia discovers that Olaf has already hidden the money somewhere else, and she has no idea where it is.

While trying to find out where the money is hidden, Sylvia meets a wealthy businessman named Charlie McLaren. Charlie is kind to her and offers to help her out in any way he can. Initially, Sylvia is wary of Charlie's intentions, but she needs help, and Charlie seems genuine. Charlie is smitten by Sylvia and tries to get close to her, but Sylvia is not interested in any romantic relationships at the moment.

As the investigation into Olaf's kidnapping progresses, it becomes clear that there are other parties involved, and Sylvia is not the only suspect. The case gets murkier, and Sylvia becomes more determined to get her revenge. She manages to get her hands on a notebook that belonged to her father, which contains all the information that she needs to find the hidden money. Sylvia decodes the notebook and finally finds out the location of the money.

At the same time, the police catch up with Sylvia and Eddie, and they are arrested. Sylvia is interrogated by the police, but she refuses to say anything. She manages to get her hands on Charlie's phone and uses it to make a call to Eddie. She instructs Eddie to retrieve the hidden money and leave New Zealand as soon as possible. Eddie manages to do so successfully, and Sylvia and Astrid finally have their revenge.

The episode ends with Sylvia and Astrid leaving New Zealand, leaving Charlie behind. However, Sylvia's journey is far from over. She realizes that she has left a lot behind in New Zealand, and she is not sure if she can ever go back. The first episode of Straight Forward is a gripping thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. With a strong female lead and a compelling storyline, the show promises to be a must-watch.
