What happens in La Brea?
When a massive sinkhole opens up at the La Brea tar pits, hundreds of Angelenos on their morning commute are swept into the void. Among them are Eve Harris (Zea) and her son, Josh (Martin). They expect to die when they fall over the edge of the hole, only to wake up completely unharmed in an unrecognizable world. Unnerved by all the impossibilities that surround them — no cell signal, a mysterious green light in the sky, and a complete lack of civilization — they make their way toward other survivors to figure out what’s going on. But before they can start to solve the mystery of where they are, the denizens of this strange new world must band together to survive the dangers lurking in the shadows. Between vicious animal predators, mysterious structures in the forest, and finding sustenance and first aid, the group has their work cut out for them.
Back in the world they fell from, Eve’s daughter, Izzy (Gorecki), who escaped the catastrophe thanks to her mom’s sacrifice, reunites with her troubled ex-Air Force pilot father, Gavin (Macken). As the two grieve together, Gavin starts to have visions of Eve and Josh on the other side of the sinkhole and becomes convinced they’re alive. When Gavin starts to obsess over how to convince the US military to helm a rescue operation, Izzy begins to worry about her dad’s sanity. Will the Harris family ever reunite? Or are they now doomed to live life worlds apart?
