RISE

Tags

An original pilot for a television series written by Lydia Nibley and Russell Martin

A rule‐breaking doctor, who has recently moved to Rise, Arizona with her new husband and two teenage daughters, discovers that the experimental medication she is prescribing to her patients surprisingly lifts their libidos, their spirits, and their passion for life—and that when it comes to better living through chemistry things are never as simple as they may seem.

What if a drug tested by a pharmaceutical company as medically “legitimate” also affected the body, mind, and spirit in a combination of ways not everyone is comfortable with—stimulating libido, increasing empathy and feelings of love, and alleviating fear? Would the FDA sanction it? Would the DEA stay away from it? Would society approve of it? And would it make life better, worse, or just more maddeningly complicated?
