The description says the discovery will force them to make “an impossible life or death choice that will impact them forever.” Charlie Covell writes the series and also serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Tatum Grace Hopkins will make her TV debut with the series after primarily working on stage productions. Her theater credits include roles in Broadway productions like The Queen of Versailles and For the Girls. She also appeared in the short film Meek, which premiered at a 2024 film festival. The upcoming Prime Video project marks her first major screen role.
