Pitch

Deoxy AI.png

Hello.  I wanted to write a TV show that had everyday people exhibiting extra ordinary abilities.   It had to be believable with relatable characters showing real emotions and having personal stories to tell.  There positively had to be an “anything goes” approach.  Infinite possibilities.  Life and death.  End of humanity.  May I introduce DEOXY.

  DEOXY – 1 Hour TV pilot  Sci-Fi / Adventure

Tone
Deoxy is a sci-fi drama that focuses on various people who have mutated giving them special abilities, like "Heroes" and "X-men."  They are normal people similar to "No Ordinary Family."    “CSI” without the crime.  Nature has also evolved.  Think – “Jaws” on steroids.  
 
Tagline
All things change – let us remain.   
 
Logline
Highly evolved people from around the world must come together, discover how to use their special abilities to make sure humanity survives in its decisive battle with nature.    
 
Hard Sell
Infinite possibilities, with human, animal and plant storylines.  Anything with DNA can have its own episode.   It is not about “Wolverine” or King Kong every week, it is a Sci-Fi bordering on Sci-Real which needs to be told – right now.  Humanity is at risk of being eradicated.  And most of us are defenceless and helpless.  Evolution, a powerful ally, or the deadliest weapon on earth.
 
The world
Our planet has undergone significant global changes, so all life must evolve – and fast.
Nature has provided a solution.  New organic molecules, called mutagens, have been synthesized in the atmosphere and are raining down into the oceans.  These new molecules allow anything with DNA to mutate.  Evolutionary changes that would normally take thousands of years are now taking place in a generation. 
 
Characters


Adam – He is a 28-year-old FBI agent.  He graduated top of his class and continues to be amazing at everything he does.  He has superpowers, when he is facing death, his fight or flight response allows him to fly, swim under water and bullets can’t pierce his skin.   He is very matter of fact and has a unique charm that attracts both male and female attention. Eve - She is the female version of Adam.   28-year-old, FBI agent, top of her class.  She too has a unique fight or flight response which allows her to do anything to escape death.  She has yet to fall in love, and she is on the lookout for Mr. Right. Dr. Coggins – One of the most brilliant scientists of his day.  His research on DNA is unparalleled.  He manages to identify the new mutagen which is causing evolution to take place at an accelerated rate.  He is obsessed by his work, he has no family, which allows him to focus on his work to ensure humanities survival.  The seriesEvery episode is self-contained and focusses on one or two newly evolved phenomenon.   The bigger picture – entire species evolution.  Moral questions are asked – is it now acceptable to hurt a fly, so humans can survive. The smaller picture looks at humanity.  Is it egotistical to think we should remain on the top of the food chain?

The pilot
We open on a visual and verbal explanation from DOCTOR COGGINS about the rise of animal mutations. Animals are becoming larger and more powerful, as exemplified by the rise of deadly STINGER FLIES.
Cut to a high school party. JENNY TAYLOR has an unfriendly encounter with a male student, who she beats up. On her way to leave, Taylor meets ADAM FORBES, and they share a dance in the rain.

Cut to the future, and Forbes and Taylor are FBI agents in the middle of taking down drug dealers trafficking a suitcase of blood vials. Forbes and Taylor are outnumbered and are tossed in a van to be killed. The drug dealers take them to train tracks on the outskirts of town and shoot them. However, the bullets fail to pierce their bodies, and they manage to levitate to evade the oncoming train.
