CrimeDramaHorrorMysteryThriller44 min per episode
Former FBI agent Ryan Hardy is pulled back into the hunt when jailed serial killer Joe Carroll engineers an escape and turns his crimes into something larger. What begins as a manhunt becomes a spreading network of followers who treat Carroll’s violent vision like a cause, carrying out attacks, kidnappings, and staged spectacles beyond prison walls. As Hardy tries to stop the next move, every lead opens onto another hidden ally and another person already under Carroll’s influence. Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy anchor a story built on pursuit, manipulation, and the growing fear that catching one killer may not stop what he set loose.
