Unlikely relationships are forged when a group of strangers enter a court ordered program for suicide survivors in the new offbeat Starz series, Gravity. Weaving together the sometimes comic and other times tragic stories that brought each character to the out-patient program, Gravity premieres Monday, April 26 at 9:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on Corus Entertainment’s Movie Central (Western Canada) and Astral Media’s The Movie Network (Eastern Canada).
