Dark

Synopsis

In the rain-soaked German town of Winden, the disappearance of two boys reopens an old wound: a teenager’s brother vanished in the same woods thirty-three years earlier. Teenager Jonas Kahnwald, still grieving his father’s suicide, follows clues into the caves beneath the local nuclear power plant and stumbles on a wormhole that links 1953, 1986, 2019 and beyond. Four interlocking families — the Kahnwalds, Nielsens, Dopplers and Tiedemanns — turn out to be bound together across generations by secrets, affairs and children lost to time itself, while shadowy travellers fight a quiet war over whether the cycle of loss can ever be broken.
