- Crippled Kings is a one-hour scripted drama series dealing with mental health and offers multiple meanings and opinions. Laced with every real-life hot topic, this show stands to break new ground because of the larger universal themes that spring from those hot subjects. This show functions as a layered, literary suspense and mystery novel made just for television. Set in Atlanta in 2022, we explore a world of mental health and the nature of our human condition. This series is about Micheal Royal, a licensed Therapist who devotes his life to saving and helping high-profile men overcome crippling life situations. All while hiding his own secret. In this series, you will get a glimpse into the struggles men face and the dangerous effects their decisions can have on the "WOMEN" connected to them. We now get a front-row seat to see and hear what happens behind closed doors in the therapist's office. But the patients aren't the only ones with secrets ... This series is emotional, cinematic, revealing and rooted in character ... it is the marriage of human drama (pushed to the limit) and deception.
- Crippled King is LAW & ORDER:SVU meets SCANDAL.
Through his eyes, we get a peek into some of the personal and professional lives of four of his therapists who work with him at the Royal Treatment Center, and some of the most powerful and celebrated celebrities who come in for treatment. In small but powerful doses, Micheal speaks directly to us in voice-over at the top of show and close of show. His serious, insightful nuggets always guide us through the cases we are viewing, revealing that - metaphorically - every man is crippled.
A more mentally intense version of Olivia's agency in Scandal, the cases in Crippled Kings set the theme for the character story-lines of each episode. Juicy and at times devastating ... these cases are married to our characters' personal lives and relationships. In short, counseling and mental health serve as a vivid backdrop to our characters' lives. Each episode takes place both inside and outside the Royal Treatment Center. Crippled Kings is not so much about therapists as it is about people trying to hide an aspect of themselves while living a lie. This show is edgy, hopeful, and most importantly mysterious and speaks to our culture.
The big city of Atlanta is the backdrop of Crippled Kings where the Royal Treatment Center is located. The Royal Treatment Center is highly exclusive, highly expensive, and most importantly... Highly Secretive. It is the Gucci, Rolls Royce and 6-star hotel for mental health. This 14,000-square-foot mansion is also the private home of our lead character Micheal Royal. This place is luxurious and, again, exclusive. Gated, manicured lawns ... it's an oasis of opulence and safety.
Nondisclosure is the most valuable asset of the Royal Treatment Center, and the currency is trust. This place is responsible for providing an elite level of security to the most powerful men in the world. Every man who comes to the Center is broken, irretrievably, and in some cases shattered. But all who walk through the gates of this Center are crippled in some way. Some of these men have been taught how to cope; but were not taught how to work through what caused the need for them to see Micheal Royal in the first place.
Welcome to the Royal Treatment Center. Where saving men is the game, non-disclosures are the bread & butter and secrecy...
... well the secrets are hidden in plain sight!
