The series follows the residents of a small town called Deerfield, who one day discover a magical, destiny-predicting machine in their grocery store – “promising to reveal each resident’s true life potential.” It’s about a mysterious machine that upends a small Louisiana town, asking us all to wonder if who we truly are is who we truly could be.
