Coming Soon to FOX
STILL LIFE: STILL LIFE tells the story of an American family, the MORGANS, through the eyes of JAKE MORGAN, the
eldest of BEN and CHARLOTTE MORGAN's four children. Jake was the golden child that every parent dreams of having. Following
in his father's footsteps, he decided to become a cop. And, on his first day on the job, Jake was murdered. We rejoin the
Morgan family a year after Jake's death. Jake now is our narrator, watching his family from beyond with amusement, longing
and neverending curiosity as their true lives are revealed to him.
Jake is not a ghost, but in many ways he is still
a part of the lives of the people he loves, and he still has unresolved issues. His mother, CHARLOTTE (SUSANNA THOMPSON, "Dragonfly"),
has been galvanized by tragedy to resume her dream of running for public office. His father, BEN (DAVID KEITH, "Daredevil,"
"Behind Enemy Lines"), a detective, must overcome the guilt he feels for his son's death and rediscover the lust for life
he once had. Jake's younger brother, MAX (JENSEN ACKLES, "Dark Angel"), is a 21-year-old concert of darkness and light. His
love-hate relationship with Jake is revealed in a love triangle with MAGGIE (MORENA BACCARIN), the girl they both love and
owner of an art gallery. EMILY (AUDREY MARIE ANDERSON, "Moonlight Mile"), Jake's 19-year-old sister and best friend, is a
haunting beauty whose life has been set adrift by the absence of her brother. She is looking for someone to give her that
connection again, and the search could take her anywhere. His youngest sister, DAISY (JEANETTE BROX), is a precocious 16-year-old
coming of age faster than she is ready. She is a positive, upbeat spirit buoyed by the belief that Jake is "still here."
By
turns heart-breaking and life-affirming, joyful, combative and complicated, STILL LIFE is a beautiful celebration of love,
life and family. MARK PIZNARSKI ("Once and Again," "My So-Called Life," "Everwood") directs STILL LIFE, from 20th Century
Fox Television and Original Television.
