Role / Project description: 30s - 50s, open ethnicity, is one of the best detectives in the city until she unexpectedly quits the force in the pilot, shocking her colleagues. But what Tess isn’t telling them is that she is losing her sight. Using a professional video guiding service to navigate beyond her impairment, Tess meets the irrepressible Sunny Patel, the seeing-eye agent who acts as her “eyes” from 3,000 miles away and the two form a bond. Haunted by the case she left behind, Tess uses Sunny to guide her remotely in a search for the missing woman she believes is still alive. Meanwhile Tess is also learning to navigate her sight loss. With Tess’s drive, Sunny's bubbly assistance and the help of Matt, Tess's best friend and computer hacker, the three form an unusual crime-fighting team, rescuing the victim, bringing the culprit to justice and besting the police force she left behind. Tess chooses to keep her condition a secret at first – but she will ultimately learn that her new partner, Sunny, has a secret agenda of her own and it’s not just getting Tess out on a date... There is a reason Sunny chooses to see for others while staying out of sight herself. And the central question for Tess is, can Sunny be trusted? SERIES LEAD (1)
