About
"Teen survival trauma curdles into adult secrets and dread"
A girls' high school soccer team survives a plane crash in the remote wilderness, and the show flips between their brutal ordeal and the fractured, secretive adults they became twenty-five years later. It's less about the crash itself than the slow unraveling of what pushed them toward something feral and unspeakable. The tone mixes survival horror, dark comedy, and psychological thriller, anchored by strong dual casts playing the same women as teens and adults. It's tense, moody, and often disturbing, carried by mystery-box hooks and genuinely unsettling atmosphere rather than easy answers.
Watch it for
the way past and present timelines slowly reveal what these women became to survive.
Maybe skip if
you want mysteries resolved quickly, since threads stretch across seasons with few clean answers.
Written by our AI editor to help you decide, spoiler-free by design.
