Deception

SHOW INFO
Cameron Black is the world's greatest illusionist. The Master of the Impossible! At least, that's what people used to call him - before his greatest secret was exposed and his career destroyed. Even worse, Cameron has good reason to believe this was no accident. A criminal illusionist masterminded his downfall. Now, Cameron must find out who sabotaged him and expose them to the world. It's a good plan... but maybe a little too impossible. Until... ... an FBI jet blows up in a hangar outside New York. It was transporting a cartel boss to prison. To the untrained eye it looks like an explosion, the cartel boss is dead. But Cameron knows this jet didn't blow up. It disappeared! Is it possible the cartel boss used a criminal illusionist to escape? Is this the same illusionist who wrecked his career? To get answers, Cameron must convince FBI agent Kay Daniels that he can help her find the cartel boss. Of course, he's not exactly FBI material. Cameron's antics and constant showmanship irritate Kay's superiors, but this genius for illusion is her best chance to capture the cartel boss. And they make for a good team. Cameron's unique abilities compliment Kay's FBI training and street smarts, even when his over-the-top persona gets them into trouble. They also have help. Cameron's magic team (the geniuses behind his stage show) can build any trick or illusion for them. Kay has the FBI and her crack partner, Special Agent Mike Alvarez, who just so happens to be one of Cameron's biggest fans. With both teams working together, they stage an illusion of their own that brings down the cartel boss and puts Cameron one step closer to finding his criminal illusionist. The FBI is impressed. They order Kay to put together a new team - the Deception Group. Their job: to solve any deception and outdo it with their own. Kay immediately recruits Cameron and his team. Together, they'll take down criminals and spies and, along the way, go after the elusive illusionist who destroyed Cameron's career. DECEPTION is from writer/executive producer Chris Fedak (Chuck), executive producers Martin Gero (Blindspot), and Berlanti TV (The Flash, Arrow). Illusionist David Kwong (Now You See Me) will co-produce.

Las Reinas

SHOW INFO
Miami Detective Alex de la Reina is as notorious for her homicide investigations as she is for her last name: she is the granddaughter of Gabriella de la Reina, the ruthless head of the city's most powerful crime family. Alex turned her back on her family when she was sixteen, but that doesn't stop her from using their influence to do her job; she is the only detective in Miami who can walk into a gang shoot-out and come out unscathed. Alex's new partner Andrew Somerset and her mentor Lieutenant Donald Worden fear that her risk-taking behavior has gotten out of hand. But Inspector Kathryn Geller of the Organized Crime Task Force doesn't care how Alex gets things done; she needs her help. Karen Ruiz, the daughter of the De La Reinas' most ruthless enforcer, has disappeared. If this girl dies, the city could see a gang war that ends in a blood bath. Alex knows that she has no choice but to see her family for the first time in years, to ask them to stand down and stay out of her way until she can find out what happened to Karen. Gabriella and her consigliere Robert Ellison welcome Alex warmly back into the fold. After all, Gabriella is determined that Alex is the only one who has the strength to inherit her throne. But Alex's younger brother Diego is not as forgiving; he felt abandoned when she left the family without taking him. Now, Diego is trying to prove that he deserves to take over the family business from Gabriella. With Gabriella's help and resources working in tandem with the police on Karen's case, Alex starts making breakthroughs. But this favor puts her into a conflict she can't resolve. For now, she must walk the murky line between the law and her family, and question her true destiny as a De La Reina. From writer/executive producer Dean Georgaris (Laura Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, The Manchurian Candidate) and The Mark Gordon Company (Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Quantico).

Salamander

SHOW INFO
We open on a heist: the robbery of sixty-six specific safety deposit boxes housed in an exclusive private bank. The robbers break open the boxes, but the boxes don't contain money or valuables, just personal effects: thumb drives, photos and documents. The following morning, when the bank manager, Kant, discovers the robbery, surprisingly he doesn't call the police - leaving us to wonder: just who do those sixty six boxes belong to?! Meanwhile, Ethan Anders is on a blind date with Nora Schaller. It is not going well. They come from totally different worlds, and it's awkward. Nora is a psychiatrist for Homeland Security with an expensive education and an uptown brownstone. Ethan is Queens through and through, and the gains he's made in life are because he worked his ass off to get them. The two realize that they are far from an ideal match and end the date, thinking it is goodbye forever. Ethan works at a boutique security firm as a design engineer alongside his ebullient and impulsive brother, Kevin. The firm provides security for the bank from our opening, and Ethan notices that someone at the firm shut off the bank's security system the night before - an "inside man" to the robbery. Worse, Ethan suspects the culprit was his brother. Troubled, he seeks counsel from his best friend and AA sponsor: David Vargas, a former police detective. Vargas tells Eddie that he's got no choice but to confront Kevin with what he knows... But when Ethan returns to the office, he discovers a total blood bath. Everyone at the firm, including his beloved brother, has been shot dead. Ethan is taken for questioning by two police detectives. But, on the way there, one of the detectives kills his partner and tries to kill Ethan... who barely escapes. Ethan is terrified - whoever robbed the bank not only killed his brother to cover it up, but was willing to kill everyone else in the office in the process - and whoever they are, they have reach into the NYPD. Ethan doesn't know where to turn. He's too afraid to return home, or to any of his friends. So, he goes to the only place he can think of -- he arrives on Nora's doorstep, begging for help. Upon hearing his story, Nora fears that Ethan might be paranoid or insane - but he pleads for her to trust him, and, reluctantly, Nora decides to help him out. Using his brilliant cyber skills and her government credentials, they start to dig into this mystery and discover that the safety deposit boxes share a common code word - Salamander --- and that the boxes are each linked to politicians, industry heads, and financiers. But, why? And what is their significance? As they are reeling from this, they discover that Helen Barrett, a U.S Senator, has just been arrested for blowing up a ferry in the east river. Ethan and Nora are stunned: Helen Barrett's name is on the Salamander list. Just what is going on here? Is someone using the contents of the boxes to blackmail their owners into doing horrible deeds. But who? And why? Ethan and Nora realize that, despite the fact that they barely know each other, and have almost nothing in common, they may be the only ones capable of solving this mystery and discovering who is responsible for the murder of Ethan's brother and is now trying to kill him to keep their enterprise a secret.

The Crossing

SHOW INFO
In the idyllic American fishing town of Port Canaan, with its coffee shops, bakeries and bookstores, Sheriff Jude Miller's days are typically filled with yoga and low-intensity police work. But the peace and quiet of his city is upended when the inexplicable happens: hundreds of bodies wash up on a beach on the outskirts of town. Scores are dead... but 47 have survived. At the site of the event he's met by Department of Homeland Security Agent, Emma Ren, and they assess the situation. But the facts don't add up. No plane crashes or nautical distress signals have been reported and, even stranger, the survivors are all asking for asylum. They say they are Americans, fleeing a war... a war that they claim won't happen for another 150 years. Survivors like married couple Rebecca and Caleb explain that they are escaping a genetically superior population of humans who have ascended to power in the future and embarked on a campaign to kill off all members of the lower classes. They have been oppressed, hunted; they have come here hoping for a better life. Conspiracy theories begin to take root; no one knows if these people are actually refugees, invaders, or actors in a complicated hoax. Emma, though skeptical, reports back to her superiors at Homeland Security. Until all the facts can be ascertained, and a plan of action realized, it is deemed necessary for the survivors to be held under strict supervision in a secret location. As the case grows in importance Jude finds himself marginalized by Emma and the Feds. But when he is confronted by Rae - a survivor of the crossing who has found herself separated from the others - she appears to have physical and mental capabilities that go far beyond the norm. She is a member of this advanced master race, of which the survivors have spoken. But Rae, he learns, is not some evil agent, sent to hunt the refugees. But just a mother, seeking her daughter, from whom she has been separated... and with whom she has come, like the others, seeking a better life. And in order to find her daughter, she is going to need Jude's help. As the Feds continue to monitor the survivors, it becomes clear that this most unusual group of visitors will change and disrupt the lives of the people in this peaceful town... and that their presence here could ultimately put the whole world in grave danger.

The Doomsday Project

SHOW INFO
As a preventive measure, the U.S. government assembled a think tank of the most brilliant, out-of-the-box thinkers from various disciplines -- military, entertainment, science, and technology - tasked with dreaming up man-made disaster scenarios and their possible solutions. But the program was ultimately considered too dangerous. The team was disbanded, the files sealed. Five years later, when a lethal virus is stolen from a government research lab, it looks suspiciously like a step-bystep operation from the think tank's playbook. Homeland Security decides to reunite the team in hopes that they can outsmart the terrorists who have the scenarios they created. Dr. Davis Albright is the team's architect and engineer. He's confident, polished, slightly obsessive-compulsive, and treats both work and life with a meticulous caution. Dr. Elle Trask -- who happens to be Davis's ex-wife - is the team's scientist and MD. With multiple degrees and a popular public persona, Elle is a brilliant thinker with an effortless sensuality and confidence. Bringing wit and creativity to the group is blockbuster screenwriter Warren Moore, a charming cad who enjoys the exploits of his lucrative movie career, but secretly yearns for a position of importance fit for his staggering intellect. Quietly crunching numbers in the room is analyst, statistician, and veritable crystal ball Nate Hensley, a guarded hipster millionaire who founded a colossally successful website that predicts sports, elections, and stock market trends. The only person in the room actually trained in counter-terrorism is Ivy League educated Navy SEAL Chris Wyatt. Benched from the illustrious SEAL Team Six due to a controversial (but life-saving) decision, Chris now trains special warfare sailors in Virginia, until he is pulled back into the think tank. Rounding out the group is cyber security specialist Kayla Greene, the lone newcomer to the think tank, having replaced team member Alec who died two years prior. Kayla is scrappy, irreverent, and fiercely independent, and until the think tank, has always been the smartest person in the room. She is naturally untrusting, having lost her mother at a young age to mysterious circumstances, and not a born team player - both things she will have to overcome to be a successful part of the team. Kayla was hired by the acting Deputy Director of Homeland Security, Faye Walsh, a bold and decisive leader who never approved of this think tank and now is tasked with leading them. She is filling in for John Mercer, the founder of the Doomsday project, whose recent disappearance coincides with the leak of the team's scenarios. Everyone wants to know if he's been kidnapped, killed, or if he's part of the terrorist plot. Now reunited, the think tank has to face a ticking clock to try and outsmart the greatest opponent they've ever had to face - themselves. They must combine all their skills to stay ahead of the disasters they dreamed up in this thrill ride from executive producers Carol Mendelsohn (CSI) & Julie Weitz and writers Mark Bianculli & VJ Boyd (Justified).

The Good Doctor

SHOW INFO
San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital is about to employ a new surgeon, 25 year-old Shaun Murphy; a young man unlike any doctor they've ever hired before, which is causing problems for the Board of Directors. Shaun is autistic. He also has savant syndrome, which means that while he has real and fundamental difficulties communicating and connecting, he is also a genius with almost perfect recall. Growing up wasn't easy--he was bullied by kids as well as his own father. But when he was 14 years-old, his genius attracted the attention of Dr. Ira Glassman who mentored him and now wants to hire him. Although he's President of the hospital, Glassman still needs to convince key players that Shaun is the right person for the job. There's Allegra Alexis, who controls the Board's purse strings; Jessica Preston, whose grandfather started the hospital; and Horace Andrews, Head of Surgery who considers Shaun too big a risk for his department to take on. When Shaun uses his encyclopedic medical knowledge to save a young boy's life, his detractors cannot deny he has the knowledge to be a great surgeon. But while his knowledge saved a life today, his lack of judgment could cost a life tomorrow. A surgeon must inspire confidence in patients and in their fellow doctors. Can Shaun do that? Can he successfully work with the tough, brilliant surgeon Dr. Neil Melendez, or form an effective team with the medical residents like Elle Mclean, Jared Unger and Claire Brown. From David Shore (House) and Lost and Hawaii Five-O star Daniel Dae Kim, this is based on a South Korean format.

The Gospel Of Kevin

SHOW INFO
Kevin Flynn is about to look at life a lot differently... As a big shot investor from New York City, Kevin's life is on a downward spiral after he lost one of his clients a bunch of money. That's when he called his twin sister, Amy Flores, which brings him to her house outside of Austin, Texas. Amy, a newly widowed mother, and her 14-year-old-daughter Reese, are going through a difficult time too. Reese is coping with the loss of her father by embracing her intense teenage attitude and having her estranged Uncle Kevin around is only making matters worse. That night, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has summoned Amy to their headquarters. Upon her arrival, Amy is briefed about dozens of meteor-like impact craters detected all over the globe. What's strange is that none of these craters show evidence of a typical meteor strike. NORAD alerts Amy they are concerned this could be the result of a military attack, or worse yet, testing of a new dominant weapon. That same night, Kevin and Reese awaken to a meteor crashing in a nearby field. Inexplicably drawn to the meteor, Kevin touches it and is knocked out by the explosion it emits. But before he blacks out, he hears the words: Transform Yourself. When he awakes, Kevin realizes that the meteor he has touched has transformed into Yvette, an otherworldly being who claims she is a Messenger from God. She explains that thirty-five righteous souls, who protect the world just by existing, have disappeared; Kevin must find and anoint thirty-five more righteous souls while she finds out what went wrong. This information alarms Kevin who identifies as a nonbeliever. While he struggles to figure out whether he's legitimately going crazy, Yvette begins his spiritual training, causing Kevin to literally see the world through new eyes. But Yvette warns him he will have to keep his secret to himself. Meanwhile, Amy's team at NORAD is investigating his suspicious behavior, and whoever has altered the original righteous beings from losing their faith could be plotting to stop Kevin from fulfilling his sacred mission to save the world. A light drama from Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters (Agent Carter, Resurrection, Reaper).

The Trustee

SHOW INFO
Detective Eliza Radley has developed a reputation for herself in San Francisco's North Precinct. Her undeniable instincts close cases, but her reckless behavior in the field has cost her a few partners. Now she's in hot water with her boss, Captain Waits, who can't find a cop willing to partner with her. Just as Radley discovers a sex trafficking ring shuttling young girls from Mexico into prostitution, Captain Waits puts her on strict desk duty. Driven to save the girls from danger, Radley is determined to find a way back onto the case. By chance, Radley discovers an unlikely partner: her precinct's trustee, Amanda Jones. Jones is finishing the last year of her 5-year prison sentence by serving as the police station trustee, performing menial and janitorial tasks at the station. But Jones's insight into this particular case could be Radley's only way to rescue the girls, so Radley breaks the rules and takes Jones out of the precinct to search for leads. Jones proves useful to Radley with her ability to anticipate a criminal's next move. But the risk-averse and extroverted Jones quickly clashes with Radley, who is willing to break the rules but is emotionally closed off. Soon, the two begin to see other sides of each other. Upon meeting Jones's grandmother Odelle, Radley realizes the toll prison has taken on Jones' relationships. And Jones understands Radley's emotional walls when they visit Radley's father Anthony, a retired cop who has never recovered from the death of his son. Though Jones and Radley have completely opposing views on crime and punishment, a successful partnership is born. THE TRUSTEE is a fun buddy cop dramedy from Elizabeth's Banks' Brownstone Productions and written and executive produced by Jay Scherick and David Ronn.

Unit Zero

SHOW INFO
At the CIA, there are heroes -- and then there is Unit Zero, a team of desk jockeys who suddenly find themselves thrust into the crossfire when they must go into the field for the first time as spies. No longer just fetching coffee and setting up the boss' powerpoint presentation, these unlikely heroes will solve cases of national security and succeed because no one will ever suspect they are spies. This team of zeroes is done dreaming small. It's time to "dream average." Their leader Jackie Fink (Toni Collette) is a whipsmart engineer responsible for inventing the coolest spy gadgets you'll ever see. She's also a single mom who's trying to figure things out with Gabe, her one-night-stand and the father of her child. Each member of Unit Zero is so much more than they appear on the surface. Phineas Bog is treated just like any other IT nerd, but he's the head of cyber security, the smartest guy in the room, and hiding a huge crush on Jackie. Brianna Pierce, Jackie's best friend, is a maverick spy on probation. She's looking to prove she deserves to be back in the field. But underneath her motorcycle-riding, badass persona, you'd never guess that when it comes to her friends, she's all heart. Midge Glass is only known around the office for her pumpkin bread, but underneath her sweet face and tacky sweaters, is a whole other person. She can disassemble a field rifle just as fast as she can whip up a lemon tart. And lastly there is Azeema Khabiri, the overeager, coffee-making college intern, who's a third level black belt and a whiz at Middle Eastern dialects, who just can't wait to be a spy. The team jets to Mexico to take on a homicidal hacker and rumble with a drug cartel. Only Mike Barclay, head of the CIA, knows what they can do. He's so impressed with their work, he makes them a secret team of spies - even secret to the rest of the CIA. He knows they're zeroes, but he also knows they're the only ones he can count on for the toughest, most sensitive missions.

Untitled Marc Cherry Project

SHOW INFO
When a strange crime occurs in small town Oxblood, Kentucky, Sheriff Ruby Adair (Reba McEntire) is called in to get to the bottom of what appears to be an act of terrorism. Though many people are jumping to conclusions around her, Ruby keeps her cool as she begins to work on the case with Tag Fayad, an FBI agent of Middle Eastern descent whose expertise tells him very quickly that this is not an act of terrorism but something else entirely. Tag's urban perspective immediately clashes with Ruby's small town outlook, but they agree that there may be something sinister going on in this small town that they must uncover. As Tag and Ruby look into the case, Ruby also must deal with the return of her ex-husband Deke to Oxblood. Their estranged adult daughter disappeared a few years ago, leaving behind Ruby's grandson TJ for Ruby to raise. But it was also her disappearance which led to the dissolution of Ruby and Deke's marriage, and Ruby is floored to discover Deke is moving back to town with his new wife, Randa, and a baby on the way. Tag, meanwhile, finds himself an outsider in rural Kentucky. But since he is stationed here, Tag strikes up a relationship with Jennifer, a beautiful young woman he meets at a bar. He also becomes acquainted with a number of the colorful townspeople of Oxblood as Ruby and Tag embark on the case. Ruby and Tag's quest turns up more questions than answers, but the case is thrown for a loop when Jennifer disappears. Tag and Ruby will have to set aside their own differences so they can ultimately see past the lace curtains of this southern town where there are more secrets than anyone could imagine.

Untitled Shondaland Legal Project

SHOW INFO
A new legal drama from Shondaland set in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, aka "The Mother Court" - the most prestigious, high-profile trial court in America. Here, six new lawyers are about to face off and make history in its hallowed courtrooms. It's Assistant Federal Public Defender Sandra's first day as a lawyer and New Yorker. She's sensible and resourceful but burdened by the decision to leave a Supreme Court clerkship - the story of which has followed her to this new job, and which her perhaps too big-hearted fellow defender Jay won't let her forget. Thankfully Sandra's best friend and roommate Allison has her back. Also an Assistant Federal Public Defender, Alison is wealthy, generous, and unfortunately in a relationship with-- Seth, first-time Assistant U.S. Attorney. Being adversaries with his girlfriend and reluctant roommates with her best friend strains his low-key, Midwestern nature. Not making things any easier is his cocky, case-stealing colleague Leonard, while their fellow AUSA Kate just wants to stay out of the drama, do her job, and get the win. These colleagues, friends, and lovers will have to prove their worth to impress their veteran bosses, the smartest judges in the system, and a take-no-prisoners Court Clerk as they do battle in lower Manhattan.
