In the near future, zombies and werewolves and vampires are real (and licensed by the government). But when a paranormal creature goes rogue, regular law enforcement isn't equipped to deal with the problem. So the government creates a special law enforcement agency to deal with them when they get out of line.
The trick is that you can't be "trained" to detect vampires and werewolves, it's an innate ability. So people from all walks of life become Special U.S. Marshals under a Presidential Order.
One man, a former Texas Sheriff, is the only law enforcement professional in the new Special Marshals. He has the best vampire arrest record in the country.
And he's just been given a new partner. And she's a vampire.
See? It's a TV series. And because the monster of the week can be virtually any paranormal creature, it can be as romantic or icky as you want. Some of the monsters will be good. Some will be informants. It'll be like Law & Order only with vampires.

I'm confused - you wrote 'Texas Sheriff' but didn't put (Timothy Olyphant) after it. What gives?
Otherwise - sounds good. I'd watch it.
You're right. Although I was thinking more like Stephen McHattie with one of those pointy moustaches.
This really is a great pitch. You should either sell it to SyFy or have Pandora Machine shoot a 90-minute pilot version and sell it as a feature film.
Ooh. I just might.
I hate to break this to you, Drew, but . . .

What, Nat? Did you write all the dialog in this? ;-)
No, it just says that on the title page. The producer gave the script to a special ed class for "rewrites," which seems to be standard protocol these days. :-)
You are making me giggle maniacally!
I want to put "Producer reserves the right to have rewrites performed by a special ed class" in all our contracts from now on.
I am laughing at annoy-the-neighbors levels about this.
Heh. Your neighbors should be used to mad cackling at 12:30am by now.
But no, for true, have you seen/read the Nightwatch/Daywatch/Twilightwatch series?
I haven't seen the third one, just Nightwatch (loved it) and Daywatch (meh).
