The Cortlandts (ext. 1979)
Palmer Cortlandt came a long way from his small town past in Pigeon Hallow, West Virginia. It was a past he wanted to forget. He worked hard to be able to provide a life of leisure to his beloved daughter, Nina Cortlandt. Upon arriving in Pine Valley, Palmer realized that even the best laid plans have a way of going awry.
