The Monitor by Reynaldo Dumas (sci-fi pilot)
In a futuristic society not far removed from our own, crime and racism have purportedly been eliminated by an authority which requires all members of society to wear monitors that track their every movement. However, when a wealthy mother goes missing following a harrowing car accident, the balance of power will soon shift when she becomes a slave to a pair of nomads living off the grid.
