　　"When archivist Dan Turner takes a mysterious job restoring a collection of damaged videotapes from 1994, he finds himself reconstructing the work of documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras and her investigation into a dangerous cult," the show synopsis reads. "As Dan is drawn into Melody’s story, he becomes convinced he can save her from the terrifying end she met 25 years ago."

　　With James Wan's Atomic Monster signed on to produce, the show is planning to center a "dark, deeply emotional romance" while exploring the supernatural horror genre in a different way.
