Sci-Fi & Fantasy Drama

Creator Scott B. Smith

In a near-future Appalachian town scraping by on odd jobs and prescription pills, Flynne Fisher is a gifted gamer who agrees to beta-test a hyper-realistic simulation for her brother. What feels like the most immersive game she has ever played turns out to be a window into an actual future decades away, one whose powerful players now want her dead for what she has witnessed. Adapted from William Gibson's novel, the series spins a heady, elegant mystery across two timelines linked by technology no one fully controls. Beneath the sleek sci-fi lies a sharp meditation on class, agency, and who gets to decide the fate of a world they will never have to live in.
