| Title: | UNITY |
| Logline: | In the bloody wake of the Battle of Dunbar of 1650, a group of Scottish prisoners and two noble English women who’ve narrowly avoided execution are sent to Boston to work as indentured servants. Upon arrival they are met with harsh conditions, tragic decisions, and an introduction to a new world that is no longer their own. |
| Pitch: | BRAVEHEART meets THE SCARLET LETTER |
| Writer: | Lindsay McRae |
| Genre: | Drama |
| Why to Read: | It could be easy to get lost in such an epic tale, but the writer masterfully presents a primal, elegant, and breathtakingly honest look at an era long forgotten. Unfurling with a broad ensemble of achingly human characters that display no shortage of depth and complexity, this pilot presents a world where nothing is black and white, and every decision will invite audiences to obsess and agonize over. With its visually stunning setting providing an atmosphere sweeping with historical catastrophes, it’s the characters stories, both personal and political alike, that will keep viewers transfixed for seasons to come, and give new meaning to the freedoms we have today. |
