LIBERTY: TV SERIES

Written By D.R. DAMMA

🎬 PITCH DECK

1. Series Logline

In a rewilded America, Marshal Philip Harrow—a reformed transhumanist—protects the frontier city of Liberty from secret outlawed groups striking out from the solarpunk world of Elysia. His path of justice may be all that stands between re-civilization and lawless barbarity.

2. Genre + Tone

Genre: Solarpunk Western / Post-apocalyptic Mystery / Occult Techno-thriller
Tone: Gunsmoke meets Blade Runner meets The Mandalorian with a spiritual core akin to Kung Fu. Stoic, soulful, rugged, laced with dry humor.

3. Core Story Engine (Gunsmoke-Inspired)

"Frontier Trouble, Rooted in the New World."

Every episode starts with a spark—a threat, arrival, or disturbance in the fragile order of Liberty or the surrounding rewild. That could be:

  • A distressed settler bringing news of a monster in the outer zone

  • A time-banker gone rogue from their service contract

  • A wastewalker infected with nanite madness

  • Or a scientist who wants to defect from the Ascensionists

Each story asks: "Can Marshal Harrow restore harmony—not just through justice, but wisdom?"

Structure:

  • Act 1: Inciting trouble disturbs Liberty's delicate peace.

  • Act 2: Harrow investigates—often uncovering a deeper moral or spiritual dilemma.

  • Act 3: Confrontation—not just with the enemy, but Harrow’s past, ethics, and the ideals of the Lifestyle.

  • Act 4: Resolution. Not always a clean win—Liberty is fragile—but the will of “El” nudges things toward balance.

Just as Gunsmoke used frontier justice to explore human themes, Liberty uses the rewild frontier to explore the clash of paradigms: Transhumanism vs. the Lifestyle vs. Spiritualism.

4. Main Characters

Philip Harrow – The Lifestyle Marshal

  • Ex-Superion. Now a soulful warrior-poet of the Lifestyle.

  • Trained in gun-fu and combat meditation.

  • Guided by intuition ("chaordic nudges") and collective Will (“El”).

  • Haunted by his past as an eraser for transhumanist regimes.

Tysha Bloom – The Solar Heart

  • Lunarian, solarpunk café owner.

  • Runs tantric therapy at Eva’s brothel—but never participates.

  • Harrow’s off-and-on love interest; deeply moral, deeply wounded.

Eva Stone – The Pleasure Strategist

  • Runs Liberty’s elite brothel.

  • Wields information, sexuality, and subtle manipulation.

  • Rivals Tysha ideologically and personally.

  • A “time hoarder” – clinging to the past to survive the present.

5. World and Visuals

Setting: Liberty City
A solarpunk frontier town—solar roofs, vertical gardens, wind towers—built on ruins. Outside is the Rewild: abandoned highways now overgrown jungles, swamps haunted by biotech aberrations, old labs turned tombs.

The Look:

  • Golden sun & green overgrowth meets rusted Americana.

  • Mix Chernobyl’s aesthetic with Miyazaki’s Nausicaä and The Book of Eli’s spiritual dust.

  • Iconic shot: Harrow meditates under a solar tree before strapping on his sidearm.

6. Themes

  • Justice in a Post-Law World: What is justice when law is lost?

  • Redemption: Can a former killer become a guardian of life?

  • Balance of Science and Spirit: The Lifestyle seeks wisdom, not domination.

  • Decentralized Order: Liberty runs on Time Banking and Holacracy—not mayors or sheriffs.

7. Episodic vs. Serialized

  • Episodic: Each episode is a new frontier tale.

  • Serialized Layers: Ascensionist plotline, Harrow’s evolving bond with El, Tysha’s longing, Eva’s schemes.

8. Inspirations

  • Gunsmoke (Character-driven justice stories)

  • The Mandalorian (Lone protector + episodic mystery)

  • Firefly (Frontier ensemble)

  • Kung Fu (Spiritual wandering & martial wisdom)

  • The Leftovers (Philosophical world-building)

9. Target Audience

  • Sci-fi lovers who crave deeper meaning.

  • Fans of character-driven dramas with spiritual undertones.

  • Solarpunk & Afrofuturist audience looking for their The Wire in the wilds.

10. Tagline

"In the rewild, justice grows like sunlight—slow, steady, and sacred."
