MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Pure Genius is a cutting edge medical drama about a young Silicon Valley tech titan named James Bell, who enlists Dr. Walter Wallace, an exceptional veteran surgeon with a controversial past to run their state of the art hospital.

Actor Augustus Prew plays billionaire Bell. Actor Dermott Mulroney plays Dr. Wallace.

"I've never really played a doctor so I'm shooting scenes where I am performing surgery and removing people's kidneys," said Mulroney. "The most fascinating thing for me is the cutting edge medicine, the innovative solutions and up to the minute medical procedures. It is fascinating."

The billionaire built the hospital known as Bunker Hill with the goal of revolutionizing health care and treating the rarest and most challenging medical mysteries at no charge.

Everything on the show exists. This technology is real not made up, this is stuff you will see can affect your life in the next few years.

We are fast forwarding 2 or 3 years. It's really what could happen if you could have access to this technology right now with infinite resources and the best minds in medicine, what would that look like," asked Augusus.
