MEET THE PRODUCERS
Sherry McCracken and Dina Engel are a dynamic Atlantic City-based team — in production and in life. They both walked away from successful business careers nearly a decade ago to pursue their passion in storytelling. Since then, they’ve produced three feature films — The Suspect (This is Us’ Sterling K. Brown, ER’s Mekhi Phifer), Natural Selection (The Breakfast Club’s Anthony Michael Hall, Shawdowhunter’s Katherine McNamara), and American Gothic (Grand Theft Auto’s Ned Luke)…
…And now 48 BLOCKS, their first venture into episodic television. They are committed to bringing quality projects to the world.

PILOT SYNOPSIS
In the battle for Atlantic City, it’s winner take all. Against the grit and glitter of the unique American seaside city, we meet ex-NBA star and newly-minted real estate magnate Vernon “King” Carver, a man under pressure.
His rival, Dane Stoker, wants to bring him down and take over a prime piece of real estate: the nameless beachfront basketball court King’s gifted to his hometown.
Reporter Ally Price digs through innuendos and half-truths to discover there’s more to King than meets the eye.
The stakes are high. If “Question Mark Park” gets razed, long buried secrets will surface. Secrets they’ll stop at nothing to protect.
