THORNFIELD is a projected one-hour dramatic series created by writer-producers Marc and Elaine Zicree.

It begins with a question...

Armin Shimerman in Real Story Why would a man with success, celebrity, and open door to the best circles -- a man like Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Dominic Dunne -- chose to spend years at a time on the bleak, terrifying landscapes of the lost, the tormented, and the brutal?

THORNFIELD searches for an answer.

A one-hour primetime drama, the series focuses on TERRANCE THORNFIELD, a self-loathing, self-destructive, inocorruptible idealist

An unquenchable romantic behind a cynic's mask.

A writer whose brillance is admitted even by his enemies, Thornfield's gift lies not in stylistic flourishes but in bringing the people and places he documents literally to life.

Thornfield travels the country on open assignment from a heavyweight magazine, obsessibely pursing three kinds of stories:

  • Cases in which justice is about to be denied . . . or has been agonizingly delayed.

  • Cases in which the real truth lies hidden, imprisoning and distorting lives.

  • Cases in which the "why" is seemingly incomprehensible.
Stories, in short -- whether played out in a migrant labor camp or the high seats of power -- that resonate down through Thornfield's own shrouded past, a childhood he only partly remembers of secrets never revealed, whys never answered and wrongs Thornfield has been helpless to right.


ARMIN SHIMRMAN, star of Deep Space Nine and Buffy plays Terrance Thornfield, a brilliant, magnetic, utterly impossible writer determined to help every underdog, outcast and outsider who's ever been railroaded, excluded or denied justice . . .
