Bridging past and present, a shocking massacre at a remote research station is investigated by two detectives. Series World Premiere, starring Mia Wasikowska and Xavier Samuel.

In 1987, detectives Georgia Cooke (Wasikowska) and Michael Thorne (Samuel) are called to investigate the bizarre and brutal killings of four scientists at the remote Parrish Research Station. They uncover a complex case involving mania, ritual, and the occult, and Georgia's obsessive truth-seeking spirals, threatening her family, career, and sanity. Thirty seven years later, a chilling new spree of murders pull Georgia (Heather Mitchell) back into this nightmare as she confronts the possibility that the horrors at Parrish Station were never fully buried. Created by Ben Jenkins and directed by prolific film and television director Daniel Nettheim (The Hunter).
