1984 · 1 season

A heavy, slow-burning drama about buried guilt that keeps tightening its grip as past sins resurface.

Overview: Three high school buddies – Kleber, Mack and T.J. – are involved in a night of horrific violence. While only one is the perpetrator, the others do nothing. The victim dies, and the trio hide the body and promise to never speak of it again. 25 years later, Kleber is a world-famous journalist, Mack is a movie star, and T.J. is a demagogic evangelist who runs a controversial church. They meet once more in the place where the fateful night took place, and it ends in tragedy.

About: Guilt, betrayal, sexuality, faith
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
