Aussie actress Radha Mitchell ("Pitch Black," "Silent Hill") is attached to star in the pilot episode of the cable series "The Quickening" for A&E says Variety.
Mitchell plays an LAPD detective who tries to balance work while coping with bipolar disorder.
While she excels as a detective, she can't do so while taking medication to curb her disorder and must decide between her job and trying to beat the bipolar disorder.
"Nip/Tuck" executive producer Jennifer Salt penned the pilot but no production details have yet been announced.
