    The show features Ptolemy Grey as a Dementia patient who in a rare chance sets to find his nephew’s murderer. “Walter created a drug and a person that comes with a cure,” Jackson said. He continued, “It’s not a real thing.” Samuel Jackson termed his series as a modern-day fairytale. “It’s based in the reality of, yes, someone who has lost himself over the years,” Jackson said.

    Jackson serves as a co-producer of the show along with the lead actor. He expressed his quest to deliver this project as he’s seen some close family members suffering from Alzheimer’s. “I watched them change, deteriorate and become different people over the years,” he said.

    “You are still a worthwhile individual, even though a lot of people discard you,” Jackson said. “Like some people say, some garbage is other people’s treasure.” He continued about the series, “When we were trying to deal with other people to get it made, they wanted to make it as an hour-and-a-half-long movie, which was impossible,” Jackson said. “I was always banging my head against the wall about that because I never wanted to tell the story that way.”
