AMC revealed the following about the series from Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm:

The series is a character-driven exploration of life as an ordinary Black man in America today. It focuses on Demascus, a 33-year-old Black man who goes on a journey of self-discovery using an innovative new technology that allows him to experience different versions of his own life. The series follows these vivid psychological explorations and also Demascus in his primary reality.”

AMC will announce a premiere date and additional cast later.
