Samurai Girl Premieres Tonight on ABC Family

Samurai Girl is a six-hour mini-series set to air over a three-day weekend on ABC Family beginning tonight, September 5th. The event, which is based on the popular young-adult novel series will star Jamie Chung, Brendan Fehr, and Stacy Keibler. The premise revolves around Heaven, who at six months old, was the sole survivor of a deadly plane crash. The Press had named her Heaven, because it seemed that she fell from the sky. Soon after, she was adopted by the powerful Kogo Family and lived a very privileged life. But then, 19 years later, things take an unexpected turn, when her wedding is attacked and her brother, Hiko, is killed trying to save her, not before warning her that the Yakuza have infiltrated her family. So she breaks free from her family and begins training to be a samurai and fight back against the Yakuza.

I'll definitely be watching this one all weekend!

Based on a series of popular young-adult novels, Samurai Girl follows the journey of 19 year-old Heaven (Jamie Chung), the sheltered adoptive daughter on one of Japan's wealthiest and most powerful families. Protected and watched over at all times by her loving but enigmatic father, Heaven is raised in opulent but confined surroundings, with every detail of her life tended to an extravagantly provided for in the tradition of Japan's hierarchal society. But when Heaven finds herself in San Francisco for her arranged wedding to the son of one of her father's business associates, she has no idea that her protected life is about to be shattered and that her past is linked to an ancient secret prophecy which both good and evil forces will fight to the death for control.

Sounds interesting enough to me, I'll definitel be watching this when it premieres on ABC Family this September.
