Third Culture Kids

TV Series · Created by Erika Burke Rossa & Alice Kuo Shippee

Taipei, Taiwan, 1985. Before cell phones. Before the internet. A misfit crew of expat teens — May, Erin, Jim, and Luca — come of age in the freewheeling bubble of Taipei International School, where the local rules don't apply. Through family crisis, underage drinking, late-night lip-sync battles, and the wild freedoms of a city operating between East and West, they find that "home" is the deep and unlikely connections they forge with each other.

Until one of them is murdered — and those connections begin to unravel, forcing them to see their world and each other through a very different lens. Inspired by true events.

A story about identity, privilege, and the consequences of a life that seemed to have none.

Reaper's Lake

TV Series · Created by Mia Bijou Rossa

The summer after senior year. Best friends Blake and Arden are making the most of their last months together — until a former classmate vanishes. As more outcast teens disappear from Peters Lake, Michigan without a trace, Blake and Arden dig deeper while their small town looks away.

What begins as a missing-persons mystery unravels into something far darker: a cult-like coven promising utopia for society's outcasts, a supernatural plague spreading through the town, and a growing rift between the two friends as Arden is drawn toward the coven's promises.

A supernatural thriller about belonging, belief, and what we'll sacrifice to feel like we matter.
