SAVED � �Cowboys and Independents�

Directed by Alex Zakrzewski, Written by Kira Arn�

Lifeshield becomes a living hell for Wyatt (Scott) after corporate-minded Kroll (Curtis Caravaggio � Earthsea) is hired as the new medic supervisor. Kroll proceeds to whip Lifeshield into shape, but Wyatt stubbornly resists the efforts to clean up and acknowledge authority � even risking his job to save an accident victim�s life by unauthorized means.

John �Sack� Hallon (Omari Hardwick � Beauty Shop, Sucker Free City) is thrilled when his son is accepted into the elite Westbrook Academy, but the school�s pricey tuition means serious financial hardship, leading Sack to seek supplemental income, including making nice with Kroll to win more overtime.

Alice (Elizabeth Reaser � The Family Stone) has difficulty dealing with her boyfriend�s daughter Hailey (Victoria Tennant � The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), after the girl tries to drive a wedge between Alice and Lanier (Andrew Airlie � Fantastic Four, The 4400).

Meanwhile, paramedic Angela de la Cruz (Tracy Vilar � The Steve Harvey Show, ER) and newbie EMT Harper Sims (Michael McMillian � What I Like About You, Firefly) are called before the EMS Board to testify as to what happened with the patient who supposedly had a DNAR legal order. Angela is concerned that Harper�s by-the-book attitude will lead him to reveal that Angela did not confirm the order existed before allowing the man to pass away peacefully at home.

SAVED comes to TNT from Fox 21, Imagine Television and Sarabande Productions, with Sarabande�s David Manson (Nothing Sacred, Thief) and Imagine�s Brian Grazer (The Da Vinci Code) and David Nevins (Arrested Development) serving as executive producers.
