## Synopsis

ReGenesis (2004-2008) is a Canadian science fiction drama series created by Christina Jennings for The Movie Network and Movie Central. Peter Outerbridge plays David Sandström, a molecular biologist and chief scientist leading NorBAC, a fictional research organization with its lab in Toronto. Alongside him, Conrad Pla plays Carlos Serrano, Mayko Nguyen plays Mayko Tran, and Maxim Roy plays Caroline Morrison, all scientists who are pulled into cases that range from bio-terrorism to mysterious contagions and sudden environmental shifts across Canada, the United States and Mexico. The engine of the show is the scientific puzzle itself: each episode turns on a threat that must be traced in a lab and in the field before it spreads, while the team argues over what should be done and what should be disclosed. Its four seasons form one evolving story of a dedicated unit operating under political pressure. Sandström's character often becomes the vehicle for topical social and ethical questions raised by the science at hand. The tone is earnest, tense and procedural, with a grounded, clinical atmosphere that will appeal to viewers who enjoy outbreak thrillers and science-team dramas. Fans of Fringe, Helix and Contagion will find resonance in its blend of investigation, contagion dread and moral debate.
