    "S.I.S." centers on a cop who has fallen on hard times and is recruited to
work with the Special Investigative Section (S.I.S.), an elite, covert branch
of the L.A.P.D. that tracks the most dangerous, habitual offenders and
attempts to catch them in the act of committing violent crimes.  Up until now,
their unheralded work has been shrouded in secrecy but their controversial
methods begin to face closer scrutiny from police brass.

association with Sony Pictures Television for Spike TV.  John Herzfeld is
writer, director and executive producer.  Neal Moritz ("Vantage Point") and
