Summaries

"The Kingfish" is a T.V. series pilot about the Saturday adventures and exploits of three savvy, smart, Philadelphia high-school friends who must use their smarts and a bit of luck to get out of a series of predicaments.

Three high-school friends, Bobby, Flip, and X, venture to North Philadelphia in search of something mysterious. Along the way, they face memorable challenges as they attempt to secure the mysterious item-which is also highly coveted by someone else. The trio must use every bit of their smarts and a bit of luck to get out of a series of predicaments concluding with an unexpected ending. The series is not what it appears to be on the surface: the usual "three friends get into trouble amid the violence of the inner city." On the contrary. "The Kingfish" is unpredictable and uses viewers' inherent prejudices and stereotypes to lead you to a series of unexpected and clever outcomes, without relying on the use of sex, drugs, or profanity.—Carol Suber

In the pilot episode, three Philadelphia high-school friends, Bobby, Flip, and X, find themselves bored on a Saturday afternoon and decide to venture into North Philadelphia--the inner city; Flip, a genius, is reluctant. They are on a quest to acquire something that is highly coveted not only by them but also by someone more powerful. When they eventually track down the item, everything hits the fan, and the trio finds themselves confronted with threatening challenges that they must use their smarts, wit, and shrewdness to overcome. Along the way, they make a few new acquaintances by happenstance. There are unpredictable twists and turns throughout, as the guys find themselves going from challenge to challenge, culminating in a surprise ending.—Carol Suber
