SPARK - Unaired 2016 Pilot

It is current day America, but not as we know it. Imagine electricity  had never been discovered - in its place, gas and coal run the world and  power our everyday devices. Now imagine the amount of power the people  who own the gas and coal in this world would command. This is the world  of Spark. In this contemporary American city the Stockton family, run by  the tough as nails Hazel, controls the coal. Hazel finds herself  constantly coming to heads with the patriarch of the Lavelle family, the  ruthless Philippe. There is money to be had in who controls every part  of this city, and the Stocktons and Lavelles will stop at nothing to  come out on top. This old rivalry is thrown into high gear when a new  land grab comes to fruition, and the families resort to underground  tactics to take each other down. Suddenly, a gas line is cut causing an  explosion that hurts the Lavelle family while a Stockton coal train is  derailed killing innocents in its wake. At the center of this war  between families is a spirited Tinker named Pin. As a Tinker, she has a  lowly existence in this town, but she is skilled in fixing and recycling  gadgets and devices, a trait inherited from her loving father Thatcher  and shared with her mischievous brother Cable. But Pin is smart and  talented and, while using her STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering,  Art, Math) skills to work on an illicit device she created, she stumbles  on the discovery of electric spark. She knows that this spark could  mean everything to the people who are constantly affected by the war  between Stockton and Lavelle. Though Pin's device is confiscated by an  Enforcer on The Watch, she is approached by the least likely person to  want to help her rebuild it - Philippe's son, Alex Lavelle. Turns out,  the devious and sexy Alex has plans of his own for what Pin's device  could mean for this world and his family, and Alex knows he needs a  talented Tinker like Pin to bring his plans to fruition. This puts Pin  in direct conflict with her boyfriend Aidan, who is head of The Watch  and also a Stockton, and who would never approve of his girlfriend  partnering with a Lavelle. It would be easy for Pin to turn down Alex's  alliance, except that the guerilla warfare tactics between the families  have escalated and created a very personal loss for Pin herself. Knowing  that developing the device and seeing where the spark could lead is the  only way to bring down both families and stop the carnage, Pin starts  out on a dangerous journey of creativity and invention that could  destroy everything she holds dear.
