There is an element of dark intrigue here, but the show at heart is a story of two cops who have an unprecedented record when it comes to interrogation.

Logline:

Two brothers separated by two years in age, are partners in the New York Police department.  They exchange, at most three words a day, but beneath the quiet exterior lies a connection that no one sees.

Synopsis:

Two brothers live together.  They don’t have the internet in their home.  They don’t have smartphones.  Their apartment has a land line.

Their parents have the same gift, one is a carnival magician, the other a carnival psychic.  They married after the psychic actually read the man’s mind.  Once they knew they had the bond they figured they were meant to be together.  The brothers, in an odd way, feel the same about each other.  They also share the same gift.

The brothers’ world is turned on end by a practical joke: a colleague hires a stripper to pose as a witness, then asks the boys to interrogate her.  It is a big station joke.  They begin the session asking her questions that lead to a pretty serious and honest revelation.  They are so good that they actually dig into something accidentally, and only the interruption of their colleagues with stripper music stops them from learning about the terrible crime that was about to come to pass.

That night her manager kills one of the girls, she is the only witness.  She shows up the next day for real as the witness to a murder.  It seems like a joke at the precinct.  The boys sense she is hiding something, and they also begin to engage personally for the chance to understand her.  But more than that, she is an intriguing young girl, and they find themselves behaving strangely, social, and competitive.

This is especially difficult for the boys because neither feels comfortable talking.  They embark upon this new challenge like they are learning a new language and finally, when the girls life is on the line, one of the boys breaks through all barriers and saves her.  Still, they have lost a layer of trust that almost nobody else in the world understands.
