Jamie, a newly
divorced man who
creates artificial flavors for the food industry, suddenly and
inexplicably
starts to experience brief and random flashes from someone -
and somewhere - unknown:
sight, sound, smell, touch. Learning that he's experiencing
life through the
senses of a mysterious woman, he begins to fall in love with her
- without
having met her.
"From
the time I wrote the short
story that Chocolate
is based on, I've been fascinated with the idea of
taking a love story and
turning it into a horror movie that grows from the inside out. I first
worked
with Henry Thomas when he was 18 years old; to have him play the lead
role as
an adult is a real treat. And the opportunity to do this in the company
of true
masters of the genre is one I never thought I'd see happen,
especially on
television." (M. Garris)
