Synopsis: What if one day inanimate animal objects began talking
to you? If that seems crazy, just imagine how JAYE TYLER feels!
Set against the backdrop of Niagara Falls, Wonderfalls is a
quirky one-hour family dramedy about an underachieving twenty-something
souvenir shop worker named Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas). Her life
is forever changed when inanimate figures – including toys, cartoons
and anything in the form of an animal, begin to talk to her. In each
episode, the creatures’ cryptic messages set into motion a chain of
unpredictable events that invariably lead Jaye into the lives of others
in need.
Created by Bryan Fuller and Todd Holland and executive produced by
Fuller, Holland and Tim Minear, Wonderfalls focuses on Jaye as
she meddles in, muddles up and ultimately betters the lives of herself
and the eclectic variety of strangers that cross her path. As Jaye tries
to make sense of her newfound abilities, she soon discovers that the
inanimate animal figures tend to become especially vocal when she interacts
with her eccentric family of overachievers. From her high-maintenance
mother Karen (Diana Scarwid) and outspoken father Darrin (William Sadler)
to her seemingly straight-laced sister Sharon (Katie Finneran) and her
sarcastic brother Aaron (Lee Pace), each episode finds Jaye pulled in
several directions … to resolve the family matter at hand or suffer
the consequences of her little "friends."
Throughout the series’ bizarre situations and madcap adventures, Jaye
seeks advice from her best buddy Mahandra (Tracie Thoms) and befriends
Eric (Tyron Leitso), a local bartender who tries to help answer her
unrequited questions. Is the universe conspiring against her? Is this
real or just her imagination? Should she struggle with fate or surrender
to destiny? Whatever the outcome one thing is for certain - Jaye will
discover that the world around her is a magical place and that the seemingly
random events in her life are actually all part of something much greater.
