From premiered on 20 February 2022 on Epix, a US premium cable and streaming channel owned by MGM. The series was created by John Griffin, with Jack Bender, who directed many episodes of Lost, among its executive producers.
The story follows a family whose road trip goes wrong when they become trapped in a small American town that cannot be left. Every road leads back to the town, and at night it is attacked by creatures that look human by day. Harold Perrineau plays Boyd Stevens, the sheriff-like leader of the residents, who try to keep order and survive while searching for a way out.
The show drew comparisons to Lost and to the work of Stephen King, and it built a loyal following rather than an instant mass audience. Epix was later rebranded as MGM+ in early 2023, and the series continued there for further seasons. Its slow-burn mystery and ensemble cast set the foundation for the wider attention it later gained when it reached a larger streaming audience.
