After his homicide detective twin brother disappears, Mark, a reclusive puzzle writer known as Rabbit, is drawn out of his isolated life and into the Cambridge, MA police department, where he takes on his brother’s identity to investigate the mysterious disappearance. Before long, Mark realizes that his unusual talent for solving impossible puzzles has turned him into an unexpected crime-solving sensation Rabbit will be written by Mythic Quest, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia writer Megan Ganz, as part of her overall deal with 20th Studios, and fellow Mythic Quest alum Humphrey Ker. They'll exec produce alongside Percy Jackson & the Olympians showrunner Jon Steinberg, Steinberg and Dan Shotz, with David Mitchell, Mark Brotherhood, and Big Talk boss Kenton Allen also executive producing.
