Vigilante tells the story of Paul Lima, whose father, Tampa-based lawyer Albert Lima, was kidnapped and killed in Honduras in 2000 by someone they knew.

Colin King Miller (American Harmony) and Amy Rapp (Tower) are attached as producers, with Meredith Vieira exec producing.

The show, produced with James and Miller’s prodco This Is Just a Test Media and Meredith Vieira Productions, follows Paul Lima’s latest attempts to bring the killer to justice.

“From inception, we have been dedicated to telling unique, narrative-driven stories and Vigilante is a story that we couldn’t pass up. We had to be a part of it,” said David Harris, senior VP of development for Gunpowder & Sky.

“We are thrilled to partner with the talented Aengus James, Amy Rapp and Meredith Vieira to share this incredible journey of a passionate son who steps into the corrupt and dangerous universe of Honduras in order to obtain justice for his family.”

Broadcaster details have yet to be revealed. Gunpowder & Sky, which also has offices in New York and London, was founded by Van Toffler, Floris Bauer, The Chernin Group and AT&T.
