Grand Star

Grand Star (2007-2008)

EndedScripted showAction, Adventure, Science-Fiction

Grand Star tells of Cal's quest. He wants to know why it is so cold, and return the Sun to the Earth. To succeed, Cal must overcome the terrifying caste of Pointsmen. They control the trains, as they control their heat and their energy source. They forbid any search into the past.

Their leader Palidor rules with an iron fist. Lies, corruption, destruction – anything to keep our hero from discovering the truth about the world of ice.

Fortunately Cal's father Liam is the most influential glaciologist of Grand Star. He moves in some of the highest circles of the Rail Company. But how long will his connections help cover Cal's constant incursions?

Cal shares his adventures with Suki and Kurt. They are, like Cal in search of the truth. Suki, more out of defiance than need: she is a train orphan who has always had to overcome adversity. Kurt, on the other hand, is of a much wealthier class, he seeks friendship and adventure. He won't be let down.

Cal doesn't hesitate to defy the rail law. He has the Ice Fox, a surprising little engine, which unlike any other train can run on any combustible. It therefore doesn't depend on the Pointsmen energy monopoly and escapes their surveillance.

Finally to scramble the screen and switch open rail points Cal uses his telekinetic powers. He possesses this strange ability from birth, but has yet to discover its full potential. The more he learns of his background, the better he musters his powers.

Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.

In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
