METHOD MACHINE - EPISODE 1. "IT WAS A BAD KILL"
By Harley Brattain

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

The world of 2035 has an unearthly, spiritual presence intervening in a coming war between artificial intelligence, the Pollitt bureau that runs the political and judicial system through Hollywood entertainment and the stars who covertly work to bring down the system.

SYNOPSIS:

Clement Babtist is an unearthly presence who appears in the form of a fourteen year old boy. He slips through time on a quest to maintain the universal balance that keeps the world turning and the people who inhabit it alive and in a state of relative peace.

The government is now primarily funded through the Hollywood entertainment system and the funds it generates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federation of the Americas and their largest revenue generating show is a program called Berry's Method, that follows criminal trial from the original scene of the crime through the investigation, conviction and finally culminating in the execution of the Death Row Inmate (DRI).

There are three main stars on Berry's Method, the biggest being Max Subban who in the pilot finds that he has been charged with the dispatch of a boy whom he believes to be innocent of the crime. With the help of Clement Babtist and his mysterious ways, Max works to scuttle the plans of SAID-GOD, the artificially intelligent judge that pronounced the guilty verdict in an attempt to raise funds for the government.

The trouble is just beginning when the Council of the Federation finds out their biggest star sabotaged his own execution. This is the beginning of a Neo-Feudal war that rages on between the powers that be and the stars of their own mega-program who rely on the help of their mysterious friend, Clement Babtist.

I have the first three episodes already written and the next four plotted out. I have the first novel in a multi-book series already written and in the third edit. If you're an agent, I'd invite you to take a look. this is a huge project and is just waiting for the right person to come along and take the time to explore the world I've created. It's a multi season project in the early stages.
