The premise
FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, brilliant but formerly institutionalized scientist Walter Bishop and his scheming, reluctant son Peter uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology.
Horror Vault's take
When FBI agent Olivia Dunham is thrown into a baffling string of impossible crimes, she finds herself partnered with an eccentric genius sprung from a psychiatric institution and his reluctant, street-smart son. Together, the unlikely trio operates on the razor's edge where cutting-edge science bleeds into nightmare — probing phenomena that defy every known law of nature. Each case peels back another layer of a vast, shadowy conspiracy that grows more personal and more dangerous with every revelation. Think The X-Files meets mad science, with a serialized mythology that rewards patient, dedicated viewers.
