Space Science Fiction

In an alternate America, JFK survived—and didn’t just win the Space Race. He never stopped. Now it’s 1972, and JFK’s ever-expanding space empire is ripping holes in space-time itself—erasing people, places, and entire histories from existence. The only ones who might be able to stop him? Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.

Psychiatrist Dr. Madeline Wyle (Chastain) has staked everything on a truth no one will believe: that the people being taken, and changed, hold the key to what's coming. Now she confronts Resident 9 (Mandy Patinkin), a mysterious man with impossible knowledge of her past, while a former NASA scientist (Michael Shannon) surfaces with evidence of an alien artifact. At the same time, John Lewin (Bobby Cannavale) will do anything to shield his supernaturally gifted daughter, Sophie, from those who want to control what she's becoming.

Then she stumbles into an outer-space conspiracy tangled around President Kennedy, a miserable and long-forgotten estate lawyer named Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could rewrite the course of history.
