Vacation with Derek

Vacation with Derek, the TV movie follow up to the global hit series Life with Derek, reunites Ashley Leggat and Michael Seater in their roles as rival step-siblings Derek and Casey, as well as former cast mates Daniel Magder, Jordan Todosey, Ariel Waller, Joy Tanner and John Ralston. In the movie, the sibling rivalry between Derek (Seater) and Casey (Leggat) continues when the McDonald-Venturi kids visit the girls' hard-edged grandmother, Felicia (Kate Trotter) at her beautiful lakefront resort. Despite getting the cold shoulder from their step-gran, Derek and his siblings are determined to make the most of all that the Great Blue Heron Lodge has to offer. Things heat up when Casey meets Jesse (Nico Archambault; So You Think You Can Dance Canada), a handsome young dancer working as a waiter at the lodge, while Derek falls for the rich girl across the lake. When Derek discovers that his new crush's father plans to buy his grandmother’s lodge in order to demolish it and develop the whole area, all differences are set aside so the McDonald-Venturi kids can save the lake and show Felicia what being a family is all about.
