Nightflyers tells the story of the crew of The Nightflyer, the most highly advanced ship in the galaxy, that must track down and intercept an alien spacecraft before Earth and humanity as we know it is annihilated. The voyage won't be easy though as the crew soon learns that both the ship's artificial intelligence system and the captain - who no one ever sees - might be leading them towards their doom. After all, if the night is dark and full of terrors, just imagine what untold horrors lie in the inky blackness of space.

Alex Kurtzman, co-writer and producer of 2009's "Star Trek" and sequel "Star Trek Into Darkness," will executive produce the series alongside Heather Kadin, with whom Kurtzman executive produces on CBS dramas "Scorpion" and "Limitless."

A mind-bending thriller intersecting reality and unconscious thoughts as it tells the story of three unrelated people, who slowly realize that they are dreaming separate parts of the same dream. Each is on a quest for something that can only be found in their dreams a missing girlfriend, a son, a way to communicate with a catatonic mother.

This is a series about courage, greed, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, power, man versus wilderness and, of course love. It is a series that explores the notion of good and evil, heroes and villains. However, beyond these wider political undercurrents and inner personal turmoils are the excitement, danger and sense of adventure that any great Western has. Epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles are an essential part of the promise.

The show centers on Elizabeth Black, world renowned neuroscientist who appears to have it all but is constantly haunted by her own struggle with mental illness. And that is not the only secret she's kept locked away from her family and her new fiance.
