THE BITTERSWEET is a one-hour series that follows a brilliant artist on the verge of greatness, his nurse
girlfriend and the mysterious but deadly narcotic that fuels his inspiration.
After a chance encounter with mysterious supplier who gives him a wonder drug called Bittersweet, KYLE
breaks a year long creative drought by painting several masterworks in succession. While Kyle’s paintings
begin to pile up, so do a rash of mysterious deaths at his girlfriend, MEGAN’s ER ward.
At the centre of our series will be Kyle, a talented but tortured twenty-something artist, constantly on the
verge of success or self-destruction. His ‘Florence Nightingale’ live-in girlfriend, Megan, believes that with
her help, Kyle can be a clean and creative genius. Supported by a cast of dynamic characters, including
officers AIDAN and MALAY, who are determined to find the source of the city’s rising body count and a
mysterious antagonist, THE CHEMIST, who has developed the wonder drug – Bittersweet – but for what
purpose? Money? Fame? Revenge?
A modern day Jekyll and Hyde, meets Dexter, Sherlock Holmes and Trainspotting, THE BITTERSWEET is an
entwined world of love, morality, addiction, and redemption.
