Waking Lions

NBC has kicked off the drama buying season with two high-profile buys: […] and Waking Lions, from Homeland and Tyrant co-creator Gideon Raff, Keshet and Universal TV.

Based on the international bestseller, Waking Lions is an edge-of-your-seat thriller with shocking twists and turns wrapped around a medical franchise. When a Beverly Hills doctor, driving home from work late one night, inadvertently hits and kills a pedestrian and decides to flee the scene, his life changes forever. The victim’s wife finds the doctor’s wallet at the scene, but instead of turning him into the police, she decides to blackmail him. The stakes are raised further when the doctor’s wife becomes the lead police investigator for the hit-and-run case. Thus begins a gripping and suspenseful story filled with secrets, lies, extortion and ultimately redemption.
