The television series LEVERAGE follows a team of thieves, hackers and con artists who act as modern-day Robin Hoods, standing up for the little guy who has been victimized by the rich and powerful. In LEVERAGE, Timothy Hutton plays NATE FORD, a former insurance investigator and once-loyal employee who had recovered millions of dollars in stolen goods. But when Nate’s company refused to pay for his young son’s medical treatment – claiming it was “experimental” – the boy died and Nate’s world fell apart. Now, two years later, divorced and descending into alcoholism, Nate is approached by an aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs that he claims were stolen by a rival corporation. Nate is hired to be the one honest man to keep tabs on the members of his highly skilled team of criminals: ALEC HARDISON (Aldis Hodge – Friday Night Lights), a specialist in internet and computer fraud; ELIOT SPENCER (Christian Kane – Into the West), a high-octane “retrieval specialist” who can take out a gang of henchmen without breaking a sweat; and PARKER (Beth Riesgraf – Alvin and the Chipmunks), an expert thief. At first, the newly formed team is hesitant to trust one another after years of working alone, but being double-crossed changes the dynamic, forcing them to unite to get revenge on the back-stabbing executive. Enter SOPHIE DEVEREAUX (Gina Bellman – Coupling), a high-society grifter and wannabe actress Nate hires to complete the team. They emerge from the job realizing they’re much better together than apart. The group decides to work more cons targeting the richest, the greediest and the most unjust… and discovers trust along the way. Popularity: 1% [?] |

ANNE HUSTON wakes up to find herself strapped to a gurney in a prison execution chamber, seconds from receiving a lethal injection. But Anne has no memory of what kind of heinous crime she may have committed to be sentenced to death. More specifically, Anne doesn’t have any memories. She doesn’t even know her own name. A last-minute phone call stops the execution, and though Anne is spared from death, she has a million unanswered questions that no one can seem to clear up for her. Left alone in a jail cell, Anne is bewildered, frightened, and angry. What the hell is going on? Special Agent MILES McAVOY visits Anne and requests her help in a experimental FBI program. DR. CRICK believes that our memories, their sights, their sounds, even the emotions that accompany them, are recorded in our cells. This means that our memories are stored. And if they’re stored, they’re recoverable. Even if we’re dead! Once the memories are taken from a dead person, they must be implanted into someone with no memories of their own in essence, a blank slate. The memories last for three days and then vanish. And they can only be taken from a person who has recently died. Under the direction of McAvoy, a division has been established at the FBI with a mandate to determine if Crick’s research can be used to recover evidence from the memories of violent crime victims. Or perpetrators. All Crick needs is a guinea pig to test her theory. And McAvoy has found her. Anne is the perfect candidate to process the synthesized memories of murder victims. But it’s a dangerous process that’s never been tested on humans before, and no one knows what effects this might have on Anne’s mind. Anne is left with a choice ¬ be a part of this experimental FBI division, or face the execution chamber once more. But while she pursues the leads of other peoples’ memories recently implanted in her, she is haunted by the distant echoes of her own life, a life she can’t remember. As Anne’s mind is flooded with new and foreign memories, her own personal memories are revealed in confusing fragments, bits and pieces that she cannot organize. She can’t figure out which ones are from her real life, and which are from the victims whose memories she is reliving. But Anne soon discovers the horrifying truth behind her condition. She did not accidentally become an amnesiac, her memory had been purposefully erased in order to silence her about her work as an undercover intelligence operative. Does Anne know something that she’s not supposed to? Who would go to such great lengths to keep her from talking? Popularity: 74% [?] |
