Synopsis/Details
1/2 hour TV Series Pilot PRINCESS NITOCRIS (Rose) (early 20s) is a peaceful and enlightened strong woman with dreams of being crowned Queen of Egypt. However, fate takes her on a dark path when AMON (late 30s), a ruthlessly ambitious high priest driven by lust, assaults her on her wedding day and murders her groom. This horrific experience ends her dreams and releases a new and strange feeling, revenge. Worldly crimes come at a heavy expense; the Divine Assessor set a punishment banishing both Nitocris and Amon from the afterlife until they purge their sins, find the four “Baboons of Righteousness”, complete the swallowing of the heart quest, as written in spell number 126 in the Book of the Dead or be outcast to eternal doom. The games begin as these two lost souls, cast to eternal doom, weave through time using the tools of religion and science, as the hunter becomes the hunted. Will good prevail, or will Amon finally posses what he has always wanted, the Rose or the afterlife? A ruthless tale of good versus evil winds us through history and connects dots never intended to be connected. The science of time, limited by human creation, is unlocked exposing and religion takes center stage in a conflict where there is no happy endings, just new beginnings, as Egyptian mythology is retold in the human race to the afterlife.
