SERIES DESCRIPTIONS:
THYMESIA ("memory")
From Chris Carter ("The X Files," "Millenium") comes a drama starring a mother of two, Samantha Roberts, 30, graduated at the top of her class, one of the smartest individuals that has ever attended her school, and one of the youngest people to ever get a PHD. In fact, she is so smart with trivial bits she has heard about throughout her life that remained at the back of her mind, that many her closest friends and family consider her their go-to search engine. She, however, suffers from an ultra-rare condition called Hyperthymesia.
Hyperthymesia, otherwise known as superior autobiographical memory, affects just over half a dozen people in the world. On one hand, it is a remarkable ability where those with the condition are able to recall exactly what transpired on each day of their lives, where when one is asked a date, trivial details of events that occurred on the day can be explained that many have long forgot and would not be able to otherwise recall. Things that she may have overheard on television, or things that people may have talked about that she may have overheard remain in the back of her mind ready for use. On the other hand, every bad or negative thoughts that happened in the past will always be played in their mind like a scene from a movie on a DVD -- past fights with parents, silly decisions she's made in the past, and more.
But for Sam, she thought this condition was otherwise normal until she confronted the person who was responsible for the gruesome murder of her mother 16 years ago, trying to disguise himself. For anyone who has witnessed such a heinous crime, it would be hard to try to erase such a memory. But for Sam, she has been replaying the crime scene for almost two decades, noticing something different from that tragic day every time she relives it. For years, she has been on the look for the murderer who was never found -- in fact, the murder remains an open case all these years later. Between trying to balance her two kids, her husband, and working as a professor at a prestigious University, she's also been on the look for the murderer with a photographic memory of the man who committed the deed unlike anyone else.
When she eventually finds a man who she is convinced is the murderer, she enters what many consider an unstable state, telling police what they consider obscure details of the crime that police never recovered, not knowing that Sam possess a superior autobiographical memory. Family and people treating her -- including her worried husband, father (who was also at the scene of the crime with the same point of view as Sam), her kids, doctors, and police -- increasingly start thinking that Sam has gone crazy, convinced that she is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder almost two decades later. With the job supporting her family, possibly being put inside a medical treatment, and revenge on the line, will she be able to finally get justice?
STARRING: Brooke Burns, Jamie Dornan, Jared Gilmore, Kaitlyn Dever, Henry Simmons, and S. Epatha Merkerson
BOUNTY HUNTER: MIAMI
NTB presents a new, innovative reality series to debut Saturdays this fall. Taking place in the beautiful city of Miami, Florida, the show will follow a real-life game of "cops and robbers" meets "tag" where a group of contestants will be spread within a defined area of the Miami area where they will be given tasks so that they are kept busy such that each day will get them escalatingly more in danger of getting caught by the three teams of bounty hunters on the look for them. The premise of the show is that the contestants must conduct various tasks every day for 10 days, tasks that start out very easy and put them at no danger from the bounty hunters, but as the days go on and more money is on the line each day, will put them at more danger of being caught.
The bounty hunters, who don't know nor have not met the contestants before, will receive a pamphlet featuring the photos of the contestants they are on the search for, as well as background information such as their favorite places to eat, how they like to spend their free time, and the area where they will be staying to participate in the game. When/if the bounty hunters spot their prey, it doesn't end there as the game ends when they physically touch them, as in the game of "tag".
The bounty hunters will be at an advantage as they can do whatever they'd like to help them find their prey -- such as putting up posters of the contestants around the town and offer rewards to the public to also help them find the contestants. The longer the contestants stay out of the sight of the bounty hunters, the more money they earn. The faster the bounty hunters find them, the more money they earn. How long will the contestants be on the run? This exciting game will feature viewers beautiful Miami scenery, drama, and fast-paced action that will keep TV watchers on the edge of their seat as contestants from all walks of life try to beat the Bounty Hunters.
