Highliner - An Original One-Hour Drama Pilot
Some men drown. Others stay afloat
A blue-collar fisherman confronts the life he escaped when violence from his Brooklyn past resurfaces in his present, colliding with the man he’s fought to become.
Story
Highliner moves between past and present, showing how a boy hardened by neglect becomes a man caught between survival, loyalty, and betrayal - his future shaped as much by the sea as by the sins of the city.
Intro
Salty, merciless, and unflinchingly human, Highliner captures the grit of post-war Brooklyn’s blue-collar waterfront. It is a tale of survival and betrayal, where calloused hands grasp for the American Dream, and loyalty can drown as easily as a man lost at sea.
