First Season Episodes:
The series unfolds with Kafkaesque twists and turns for Judy Falco, the rebel heroine who knows too much. Now a prisoner in a padded cell inside the lighthouse “dungeon” under Mr. Mumm’s close guard,she’s doomed to perish like her friend Bridget.
But Dr. Colin Charon, a.k.a. Franz Reichman, wants to keep Judy alive for a while…as his “special patient”. He medicates her, using her past drug addiction to quell her rebellion. Then manipulates her into a perverse therapeutical relationship to win over her mind.
Dr. Charon genuinely believes in the Cure, despite its past failures. He’ll resort to any sacrifice of human life to perfect the Cure and save the lives of his patient clientele. A madman with a cause.
Judy, his ultimate guinea pig, evolves from an unwilling captive into a compliant prisoner...or so it seems. Dr. Charon gives her back her freedom and lets her keep her physical-therapy job, under tight scrutiny...as long as she never leaves the island.
Judy fakes passive obedience, resisting the mind-bending influence of “natural” psychedelic treatments that nearly drive her insane. She’s determined to outwit Dr. Charon at his own game and expose him. Any normal girl would succumb and descend into madness, but Judy is a resilient fighter. A survivor.
