Imagine a story that combines the intense football action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather."

"The Rookie" is set amongst a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future. Aliens play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that -- literally -- want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assasinated.

Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or hell wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field."

In sparing prose, this collection of 15 short stories explores the search for identity, a place to belong and the inevitability of loss.

In "Crucifixion" a Jewish woman, long alienated from her religion, recalls a dangerous childhood game she played and realizes she can’t escape who she is. "Ferris Wheel" follows a single woman’s journey to the Four Corners where she decides to keep the baby she is carrying. In "The Waitress," a couple includes a woman they don’t know in an intimate ad-hoc housewarming celebration the night they move into their house with unexpected consequences. In "Like Magic," a young boy’s act of revenge seals his fate in the drug dealing business. And "The Nine Eleven Stories," three lightly linked stories set on and around September 11, 2001. The stories will be presented in 5 episodes, each containing 3 stories.
