TITLE: ADAM FIRST
SYNOPSIS:
After years of training in Thai kick boxing and mixed martial arts, Adam First is among the most formidable and purely physical forces on the planet – he is a lethal and naked human weapon. And it is fortunate for all of us that he is honour bound by a rigid personal code of morality, the pursuit of truth and the honest and fair dispensing of justice. In many ways he is Superman. How lucky for us.
Adam First supports himself as an extreme fighter … and what at first might appear to be a contradiction suddenly makes sense when one realizes that extreme fighting might just be the purest form of employment in the world. There is no glass ceiling. No nepotism. No corporate ladder to climb … everyone is there by their own volition. The meritocracy is clear – the strongest and toughest survive and win and succeed.
Despite the brutality of his colleagues and peers, opponents and fans, Adam First is only as tough as he needs to be … he is never cruel … he is humble; an ethereal presence in the surreal and bloody world of extreme fighting. In this one-hour dramatic series created by Patrick Hasburgh, Adam First is available 24/7 for anyone who ever needs help, anytime, anywhere … Adam First is today’s professional … he is the Equalizer, a masculine Nikita … You can find him online – or he will find you.

TITLE: BLACK BOOK
SYNOPSIS: In the new world of international intelligence, Dante Fiore has hit the jackpot. A highly trained spy, he no longer needs to work for Canada’s top agencies – he is available to the highest bidder, whether it is his old master CSIS, the CIA, a multi-national, or a foreign government. But Dante’s success has not come without scars – his wife disappeared mysteriously several years ago, leaving their son to be raised by Dante’s mother.
When Dante is sent to Europe on the trail of some missing tritium, a nuclear component, he crosses paths with Francesca Serrano, an Italian police detective. Mutual distrust gives way to attraction, and Dante and Francesca soon find themselves working together against a common enemy. When Francesca discovers that her own police force is involved in the criminal extradition of a Muslim cleric for illegal torture in a third country, she is forced to go undercover.
Together Dante and Francesca discover that the missing tritium was part of a CIA/MI6 ploy to give the US an excuse to attack Iran. When the plan goes awry, Dante and Francesca must navigate their way through a maze of deception and dirty tricks to stay alive and prevent a devastating “dirty bomb” attack.
Black Book combines the street level action of The Bourne Identity, and the global perspective of Syriana.

TITLE: FORENSIC NURSE
SYNOPSIS: When the human body itself is a crime scene, one person is the most critical investigator of all … the forensic nurse. Forensic nursing bridges the gap between the emergency room and the law. When an accident or crime victim arrives at the ER the first priority is to save their lives – but what if their body can provide valuable evidence of wrongdoing? The forensic nurse is there to gather evidence, analyze information, question the victim and advocate for the truth. Forensic nurses work with – and sometimes against – doctors, the police, and the legal system. Their specialty is less than 12 years old, and still unrecognized in many jurisdictions. Sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, hit and run, car accidents, violent crime – the forensic nurse is caregiver, advocate and the front line of forensic investigation.
This one-hour dramatic series is inspired by the book Forensic Nurse: The New Role of the Nurse in Law Enforcement, and consultant in the production is Serita Stevens, RN.

TITLE: ROCK STAR: KANDAHAR
SYNOPSIS: There’s something about rock stars and war. Maybe it’s because they think they can change the world …
Our story, set in post 9/11 Afghanistan, is about a fictional UK rock band, whose arrogant, disillusioned lead singer Deap drags them to a war zone after his brother, a British soldier, is killed by a landmine there. What was supposed to be an awareness-raising media junket becomes a journey into a heart of darkness when insurgents take the singer hostage, along with a female Canadian soldier demining the area. With a vocal celebrity, a soldier just trying to do her job, victims from all sides of the war, and a paramilitia refusing to accept defeat, a small village in southern Afghanistan becomes a snapshot of modern conflict.
It all starts with a rock star’s noble, yet misguided mission. Stripped of his insulating celebrity and forced to live like a refugee, Deap experiences suffering firsthand instead of looking down at it from a stage, and discovers what he really wanted to do all along was take his brother’s place.

opposing forces are always destined to meet and clash. Take Martin and Greg.
