Producer David E. Kelley returns to broadcast television tonight (November 17) with the series premiere of Big Sky on ABC. Here’s how ABC describes the first episode:
“Pilot” – While on a road trip to visit her boyfriend in Montana, Danielle Sullivan and her sister Grace are kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote part of the highway, setting off a chain of events that leads private detectives Cody Hoyt and Cassie Dewell to team up with Cody’s estranged wife and ex-cop, Jenny Hoyt, to search for the sisters.
