| Logline: | An underfunded and overworked fire chief struggles to protect his family in a Detroit neighborhood plagued with drugs, crime, no opportunities, no water, and no way out. |
| Pitch: | CHICAGO FIRE meets THE WIRE |
| Writer: | Mickey Fortune |
| Genre: | Action | Crime | Drama |
| Why to Read: | Intelligent and politically relevant without ever becoming preachy, this pilot tells an important and intricately plotted story about the sad state of one of America’s great cities. Interweaving the emotion and character work of a family drama with the tension and action of an inner city crime epic, this pilot paints a diverse and realistic portrait of a city in crisis with clear and efficient writing, organic dialogue and an edgy voice that will stand out from the crowd. By choosing a firefighter as our entry point into this complex world, the writer has given us a unique and visually compelling lens through which to view a decaying city. |
