Premise

The series is set in a nightmarish town in the United States that traps those who enter. The unwilling residents strive to remain alive while plagued by terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest as they search for secrets hidden within the town and beyond in the hope of finding a way out.

The series centers on Boyd Stevens (Perrineau), the self-appointed sheriff and de facto mayor, and the Matthews family, new arrivals who soon discover they are trapped along with the other existing residents and must work together to stay alive and find a way to escape.
