-- Piers Anthony’s Split Infinity -- Television Series --

---

We open on a high-stakes horse race—Proton’s version of the Kentucky Derby—held beneath a protective dome on a world hollowed out by centuries of overmining. Life on Proton is artificial and tightly controlled. Technology governs every facet of existence. Survival depends on obedience. Power belongs to the elite Citizens. Beneath them are the Serfs—disposable, voiceless, and without rights.

Stile, a celebrated jockey and strategic genius, has risen as far as a Serf can. He’s a master of the track and the game, a master Gamesman, and a crowd favorite. But everything changes in an instant. Just as he’s poised to win the race, a sharp pain forces him to pull up. His career is over. The tendons in his knees have been deliberately burned. Sabotage. And worse—someone is trying to kill him. 

While fleeing for his life, Stile stumbles through a shimmering rift—the quantum curtain—and crosses into Phaze, a parallel world where magic, not technology, rules. Where Proton is cold, overdeveloped, and rigid, Phaze is lush, alive, and governed by unseen mystical forces. And here, for the first time, Stile has something he never had on Proton: power.

In Phaze, every person has a counterpart in Proton. The fact that Stile can now exist in both worlds means his alternate self has been killed. His sudden arrival marks the beginning of a much larger mystery—one that stretches far beyond his own life. Guided by the enigmatic Oracle, who warns him to “Know thyself,” and aided by a mystical allies, Stile begins a painful but necessary transformation. He discovers that within this world of magic, he has the potential to become a powerful magic user—one whose abilities could shift the fate of both realms.

As he learns to channel this power, Stile begins to uncover the truth: a dual evil threads through both Proton and Phaze—two faces of the same corrupt system. One rules through science, the other through sorcery.  And now, he’s caught in the center of it.

Back on Proton, broken and hunted, Stile is forced to enter the tourney—a brutal, all-consuming tournament with the game annex, that fuses intellect, physical skill, and performance. As a master Gamesman, he’s ready. But this time, it's not a game. If he wins, he earns Citizen status, gaining the power to investigate his would-be killers and protect himself in Proton. If he loses, he forfeits everything—his identity, his safety, and the chance to stop a rising threat that spans both realities.

Step by step, match by match, spell by spell, Stile has no choice but to adapt. He must learn both science and sorcery, strategy and self-awareness. Because to survive, he must always win—on the field, in the courts, and within himself. The stakes are no longer personal. As the forces manipulating both worlds close in, Stile must rise—not just to save his life, but to change the fate of both realities.

Proton and Phaze are not two planets—but two versions of the same planet, far from Earth, these

two worlds / frames are separated by a mysterious quantum curtain. On Proton, science and

technology have stripped the world bare, forcing humanity into domed cities where control and

conformity rule. On Phaze, that same land flourishes with untamed forests, living magic, and mythical

creatures long forgotten by Earth. Each person exists in both realities—unless one version has died, allowing travel between the two. The curtain that divides these frames is ancient, its origins unknown... but it's not the only place it once existed. Earth, too, had magic. It had creatures now considered legend. What happened? Why does the curtain remain here, but not on our own world? These are questions that will echo through the series, as Stile's journey begins to unravel not just his fate—but the fate of all worlds once touched by magic.

In Phaze, where magic reigns, the Oracle stands as one of the realm’s most mysterious and powerful

forces. A future-seeing entity bound to a palace where no other magic is allowed, the Oracle delivers

cryptic revelations that are always accurate—but rarely clear. Misinterpretation can be deadly.

When Stile seeks the Oracle’s counsel, it sets his journey on a precise trajectory—one that will define not only his fate, but the fate of both worlds. The Oracle doesn’t merely predict events—it orchestrates them. It nudges characters toward key decisions, subtly influencing outcomes across timelines and realities.  

Throughout the series, we come to understand that the Oracle, like the Game, is more than it appears. It’s not simply a source of wisdom—it is an agent of design. As characters chase their destinies, they unknowingly participate in a grand pattern—one carefully woven by a force that claims to see all, yet reveals only what it chooses.

This adaptation is being developed for premium television audiences who love complex, serialized storytelling. With a tone and ambition that evokes:

• The Witcher (dark fantasy & character arcs)
• Ready Player One (game-based world mechanics)
• The Matrix (parallel realities & philosophical depth)
• Fringe (sci-fi mystery and layered world-building)
   

We are building a universe with multi-series potential—Split Infinity is just the beginning.
