The Manifestor

"His death unlocked the truth—and now the world can’t hide from it." Series Synopsis DeAndre Lewis, a 16-year-old outcast in a small, gritty town, spends his days dodging high school bullies and skating to escape his troubles. But when a car slams into him during a reckless ride, his life ends—and restarts—with a twist. Revived from the Nether World, a shadowy realm where angels and demons wage an unseen war, DeAndre discovers he can see these celestial beings and has been cursed (or blessed) with a rare gift: anyone who gets near him manifests their innermost thoughts, desires, and sins as vivid, tangible specters for the world to witness. The good shines, the bad festers, and the evil erupts—unfiltered and unstoppable. What starts as a freak accident spirals into chaos. At school, a bully’s cruelty becomes a snarling beast; at home, his mom’s buried guilt morphs into a haunting vision. Videos of these manifestations explode online, dubbing him #ManifestBoy and turning DeAndre into an overnight sensation—and a pariah. Banned from school, shunned by his family, and hunted by Malakar, the ruthless head demon of his region, DeAndre’s life unravels. Malakar sees the teen’s power as a key to unleashing hell’s chaos, sending demonic minions to capture or kill him. Each attack is thwarted by angelic intervention, but the celestial protectors have their own agenda, viewing DeAndre as a potential weapon to enforce their order. Enter Shad, a half-fallen angel with black-and-white wings and a century of neutrality under his belt. Stuck in the moral gray zone since a tragic betrayal in 1890, Shad reluctantly takes DeAndre under his wing—the first soul he’s helped in over a hundred years. Together, they navigate the Nether World’s rules and the real world’s fallout, from viral cults worshipping DeAndre to mobs blaming him for the chaos his power unleashes. As Shad trains DeAndre to control his abilities, the teen’s manifestations reveal not just others’ truths but the fragile balance between heaven, hell, and humanity itself. The Manifestor is a supernatural coming-of-age saga where every episode peels back layers of DeAndre’s fractured life and the cosmic stakes tied to his gift. With Malakar plotting to break the Nether World’s barriers, angels scheming to claim DeAndre’s soul, and a world obsessed with his every move, DeAndre must decide who he’ll become: a victim of his power, a pawn in a war, or the one who rewrites the rules. Guided by Shad’s gruff wisdom and haunted by the secrets his manifestations expose, DeAndre’s journey is about facing the truth—inside himself and everyone else—no matter the cost. Elevator Pitch: "Imagine a bullied high school kid, DeAndre, who dies in a skateboard crash and comes back with a wild power: anyone near him manifests their deepest secrets—good, bad, or evil—for all to see. It goes viral, gets him banned from school and family, and puts him in the crosshairs of demons who want him dead and angels who want him controlled. A half-fallen angel, Shad, stuck neutral for a century, takes him under his wing to survive a supernatural war. The Manifestor—it’s raw, it’s real, and it’s what happens when truth becomes a weapon."
