V-World

In the near future, two not-too-bright real world police detectives are sent to a luxurious and sentient virtual reality resort in search of a possible serial killer.

What starts out as a simple and straight forward murder investigation quickly spins out of control when the prime suspect, an 89 year old multi-billionaire rotting away in a hyperbaric chamber in the real world, dies. While his real world physical death is indisputable, it is feared he may have transcended into a non-corporeal, digital immortality which greatly increases the difficulty of bringing him to justice - Now or ever.

This story takes place in two vastly different worlds existing side-by-side. One is a luxurious and sentient virtual reality resort, where for the right prices, a select few residents and guests can be whoever or whatever they want to be - The old can be young, the lame can be fit, the short can be tall, the fat can be thin, and gender can be changed as easily as slipping on a new pair of shoes.

The other place is where most people live. It’s a not-too-shiny and grim reality called "the real world.” In the real world, ordinary people struggle to get by, hate their boss, wish they were somebody else, try to find a little happiness, grow old and die. For those living in the real world, a few hours in V-World would be like a trip to Disneyland on steroids.

In addition to the one hour (40) page Pilot, there is a treatment, casting and two additional completed half-hour episodes; Upload and New Beat. If a series is too ambitious or hard to get off the launch pad, my completed materials can be morphed into a feature length script with the same long term potential as the original Stargate.
