The nine-episode series, based on the acclaimed 2016 book by bestselling author Blake Crouch, follows physicist, professor and family man, Jason Dessen (Edgerton), and what unfolds after he is abducted on his way home. He awakens… to an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
