Based on the best-selling Top Cow comic book series, this thriller follows the exploits of a sexy, strong New York homicide detective who acquires supernatural powers when she discovers an ancient, living weapon that endows its bearer to battle Earth’s darkest forces. Sara “Pez” Pezzini (Yancy Butler) and her new partner, Jake McCartey (David Chokachi), investigate a string of murders that take them into the netherworlds of high fashion, modern art and alt rock, as well as the Vatican, arms deals and a conspiracy of crooked cops. Each crime leads them deeper into Sara’s relationship with the mysterious gauntlet given to her by her mentor, and toward macabre millionaire Kenneth Irons (Anthony Cistaro) and his enigmatic henchman. If Sara can learn to control the weapon’s awesome energy– instead of vice versa – this modern-day warrior will grasp the unknown, attain immortality and fulfill the eternal promise of the Witchblade.
