"Samurai," based on Alloy Entertainment's series of popular young-adult novels, centers on a 19-year-old Japanese girl named Heaven (Jamie Chung) who discovers that the wealthy businessman who adopted her as an infant is really the head of the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia, and that he had her brother brutally murdered. She breaks from her family and begins training to become a samurai, and with the help of a group of new American friends, she sets out to take down her father's evil empire. "Samurai" was brought to ABC Family through Alloy; the company's Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy are executive producing. Frank Spotnitz ("The X-Files") also executive produced the pilot. |
