Following on the success of their current hit
Brothers and Sisters, Ken Olin (Alias), Marc
Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti (Everwood)
create a unique, character-driven drama that
explores the very different worlds of law and
spirituality in a humorous and heartfelt way.
Combining the fantasy and spirituality from
The Ghost Whisperer, sincerity and passion
from The Practice and quirky humor from Monk,
the show explores whether we can change the
course of our lives in midstream.
Today, the worst thing happened to mercenary
attorney Eli Stone. A case made him care. As
if that's not hard enough for a soulless
shark, Eli's also hallucinating --
larger-than-life visions of pop stars and his
dead relatives. Could it be that Eli's not
cut out to be a cutthroat lawyer but actually
has a higher calling? Well, if the universe
can bring his college girlfriend back to him,
then maybe he needs to risk everything he's
worked for, including gunning for partner and
his relationship with the boss' daughter, to
take on his own law firm. Eli's as surprised
as anyone that it works and that it feels so
good.
Now, instead of defending evil
mega-corporations, he's fighting for the
little guy in his law firm's new pro-bono
department. As for those visions, his doctor
thinks it might be an aneurysm, just like the
one that tortured his father. But Eli sees a
greater possibility, a destiny to become a
spiritual prophet. He might not have been
anyone's first choice but, given his looks,
charm and intelligence, it's an excellent
one.
Eli Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller (Smith,
Trainspotting), Natasha Henstridge
(Commander-in-Chief), Loretta Devine (Grey's
Anatomy, Waiting To Exhale) and six-time
Emmy® nominee Victor Garber (Alias, Legally
Blonde). Over the years, the legal trade has
earned billions... but with Eli Stone, it has
finally made a prophet.
