Synopsis

Secret Service agent Ethan Burke's mission to locate two missing federal agents in the idyllic town of Wayward Pines, Idaho, takes a dark turn from the moment he arrives.

As his investigation unfolds, Ethan discovers that the town is surrounded by electrified fences, raising alarming questions: are they designed to keep residents in, or to keep something sinister out? Every attempt to uncover the truth leads him further into a labyrinth of deception and paranoia, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare. He soon realizes that the tranquil facade of Wayward Pines hides a horrifying secret, threatening his very sanity and his chances of ever escaping alive.
