on a beachside community that is turned upside down when a mysterious girl
washes ashore.
The series' protagonist is Christina Nickson, a 17-year-old described as

lives in New York City, she has been shuffled off to boarding school for most of
her life, dubbing herself a "Park Avenue Orphan."
The one-hour drama pilot is in consideration for the 2004-2005 network season.
Filming for the pilot began in early March.
