Peculiar Sirens – Pilot
Peculiar Sirens is a half-hour dystopian sci-fi about friends Drew, Josh, Nike, and Yasmine, who begin to experience strange dreams after drinking a psychedelic tea. In the following week, the crew grows suspicious of their employer ‘Sentience Insurance’ after the company announces a new science department that is designated to carry out research experiments, which would yield more accurate calculations for life insurance rates.
During the week, non-governmental task forces make unlawful arrests while driving black vans with strange sirens that interrupt the city. Meanwhile, the friends struggle to piece together what their fragmented dreams mean but soon realize that they’re actually experiencing psychic visions after one of Nike’s dreams becomes a reality. They begin to make connections between Sentience, the unmarked vans, and their visions.
