Synopsis: "Even in darkness, a keen spirit discovers light." - a fortune cookie.

EDDIE ARLETTE, played by actor Mark Valley ("ER," "Pasadena," "The Siege"), is a down-on-his-luck New York City police detective. Dumped by his girlfriend and responsible for a drug bust gone bad, Eddie is sent to England with his rambunctious dog Pete, to clean up the mess he made from his botched narcotics sting.

From writer/producer J.H. Wyman ("The Mexican"), British film director Simon West ("Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," "Con Air," "The General's Daughter") and veteran television executive Warren Littlefield, comes the fast-paced, visually captivating, one-hour dramedy KEEN EDDIE. Bursting with an array of kinetic storytelling devices such as jump cuts, split frames, flashbacks and flash-forwards, KEEN EDDIE is the fish out-of-water story of an American cop who has to go to London to find himself - and recapture his lost dignity.

His humorous journey begins when he is forced to cohabit a flat with a sexy woman named FIONA (Sienna Miller). However, his quest to become friends -- and possibly more -- is quickly dashed when he realizes that his wry sense of humor and charm are no match to her razor-sharp tongue.

During Eddie's first week, he contends with a host of characters and unfortunate circumstances, which ultimately lead him to make a life-changing decision - either on this downward trajectory or get up and rediscover the world around him and his place in it.

Determined to make things right, Eddie is aided by straight-laced detective MONTY PIPPIN (Julian Rhind-Tutt) of Scotland Yard. Their adventure together begins as they navigate London's parties, pubs and nightclubs to track down a British chemist, RUDY (Alexei Sayle), and the mysterious woman who set up Eddie. With every blunder and mishap, Eddie becomes more determined to capture those who are responsible and, more importantly, redeem his tarnished reputation.

Perceiving Eddie as a potential asset, Scotland Yard's stern SUPERINTENDENT JOHNSON (Colin Salmon), who makes no pretense for his unabashed ambition, offers Eddie a full-time position. Johnson disapproves of Eddie's tactics, but will turn a blind eye if it helps advance his own quest for more power.

As for Eddie, he's only just scratched the surface in London, and feels that by remaining there, he just might find his true purpose in life.
