*Surrendered Spirit - TV 2 part Pilot for The Rogue Series

​

This 2 hour 2 part Pilot of The Rogues introduces the first Rogue, William Joseph Riley.  He was born in 1805 in the slums of Dublin. His mother, father and any known relative are dead. At nine, he was left alone to fend for himself. He had no emotional attachments and preferred it that way. Although it was difficult to reach inside Riley, people liked him. He is a man of his word and respects all life. 

 

Late in his teen years, a Royal Irish Constabulary (R.I.C.) district inspector (developed as the first ‘Royal’ police force) took him under his wing, gave him discipline, a home, food and love. He learned to laugh, enjoy Irish music and on occasion, a draft of ale.

 

Riley eventually joined the R.I.C. They had strict rules that men could not marry until they served at least seven years and that suited Riley just fine until he met Mary Brady. Riley never understood the true meaning of love until Mary. 

 

After four years in R.I.C., he professed his love to her and was ready to give up everything to marry her, but she would not allow it. Riley’s romancing Mary was an art form. No man understood the power and ritual of romantic communication like Riley. At the end of three years, Mary was “vetted” (approved) by the R.I.C. for sociable suitability” and Riley passed his mother-in-law’s approval. They married happily.

 

Riley was a doting husband and soon to be father. He was promoted to sergeant. Life was good. His spirit was strong, proud-- a happier man didn’t exist.

 

Then, one day he was dismissed from the R.I.C., learning he was framed for the murder of the man he called father and labeled a Fenian Spy (to free Ireland from British rule). Returning home one night, he found his wife, unborn child and home up in flames. Holding his wife’s dead body, he was attacked by a band of masked marauders. He refused to defend himself against the noose, remnants of his fire, passion and strength barely visible...  

 

Suddenly, Serena Rhune appeared and wove her spell. This Shaman yanked Riley’s spirit out of his battered body, then shot it into the future. With each “tandem visit”, Riley heals so he can learn to love again. For more info on the other Rogues/Spirits and outline, contact us via email. We have a TV Series Bible prepared.
