Tonight at 10/9c, NBC’s premieres the new show Awake, an intriguing drama about a detective played by Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Brotherhood) who discovers he is leading a double life that defies reality.

Following a tragic car accident, detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) finds himself awake in two separate realities: one where his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette, Saving Grace), died in the crash and his wife, Hannah (Laura Allen, Terriers) survived; and another where Hannah has perished, leaving Michael and Rex to pick up the pieces. In order to keep both of his loved ones alive, Michael begins living in two dueling realities, churning up confusion.

We interviewed Jason today at the NBC Experience Store to learn more the show, the cast and what’s it’s like teetering back and forth between two realities. Take a look here:
