SYNOPSIS:

“LIMINAL” is a female-driven, multigenerational sci-fi drama set across fractured timelines—blending The OA’s metaphysical depth, Dark’s time travel complexity, and Mad Men’s mid-century repression.

At the center is Adalia Pierce, a 1950s housewife whose seemingly perfect life begins to unravel when mirrored objects glitch, her daughter recalls impossible memories, and her own reflection seems to watch her. After agreeing to experimental memory treatments, Adalia discovers she’s been living someone else’s life—her doppelgänger’s. The two women, Adalia and Ailada, now tethered to one another, were accidentally switched as children after their mothers—two brilliant scientists—opened a portal between parallel realities .

As Adalia recovers suppressed memories, she uncovers a generational conspiracy rooted in the abuse of time-bending technology—originally developed by her mother and Nikola Tesla, and now weaponized by her father-in-law Frank, a war hero turned multiversal manipulator. The tear created by that original portal has thrown the multiverse off balance—time is reversing, universes are collapsing, and history is rewriting itself.

Spanning three decades and multiple timelines, Liminal explores what happens when three generations of women—Adalia, her mother Diana, and her future daughter Ruby—must rewrite the rules of reality to stop eternal darkness. At its core, the series asks: What if everything you remember was designed to keep you from the truth?

Liminal is a grounded, character-first sci-fi epic about memory, identity, and the quiet power of feminine resistance. It’s intimate and cosmic. Emotional and mythic. And the final decision at its heart is chillingly universal: Will humanity continue—or has the experiment run its course
