It's 2074. Most governments are bankrupt. Climate change has devastated the crops. Competing multinational corporations control 90% of the globe. In Milwaukee, Ben Larson (Sean Teale) is SPIGA middle management working on mind-reading technology. Corporate workers live in the Green Zone while the rest of the population struggle to scrap by in the Red Zone. He's married to Laura Larson (Allison Miller) who is the estranged daughter of company executive Elizabeth Krauss (Julia Ormond). Laura is a doctor tired of the superficial work for the company. Julian Morse (Dennis Haysbert) is security specialist working for Krauss. In reality, Ben's true identity is Aaron Sloane from the Red Zone. He infiltrated SPIGA to rescue his love Elena Marquez who was forced into prostitution for the company. Elena's brother Theo starts competing in cage fights.
This show lays out an intriguing world. The production value is relatively good. It's a slow build. Ben Larson is not that compelling at first. There's a reason. He's reserved and actually playing a part rather than being real. There's a lot to dig through and the show should work better. Theo is really unnecessary unless the showrunner had a bigger plan for him. Instead of Theo, the show needed to follow Elena. This lasted one season ten episodes. I don't think it got much of an audience.
