The series premiered on August 3, 2020. Episodes are between six and nine minutes long.[2]

Premise[edit]

A bomb explodes in a Los Angeles subway train. Mike Ferro, a blue-collar worker who was in the train, is wrongfully accused by the press. While concerned about his wife and 10-year-old daughter, faulty evidence and a scoop-hunting journalist convince everyone about his responsibility. Mike must prove his innocence by uncovering the real perpetrator before the cop heading the investigation can apprehend him.
