FilmRise is thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver the series to audiences more widely across the U.S., allowing more viewers than ever to enjoy this compelling drama.”
The high-octane conspiracy series follows a brilliant but haunted accident investigator Kendra Malley (Archie Panjabi) and her team, including her complicated mentor Howard Lawson (Christopher Plummer, in the first two seasons), as they investigate a series of mass transportation disasters. Season one centers on the mysterious disappearance of Flight 716, a passenger plane that vanishes over the Atlantic Ocean, season two dissects a high-speed train derailment on the US-Canada border, and season three delves into the sinking of a ferry off the coast of Newfoundland, whose frigid waters are hiding more than just icebergs.
