A neurotic, hyper-observant woman with commitment issues becomes an accidental criminal profiler when she realizes every one of her exes is connected to an unsolved murder—forcing her to confront not only New York’s darkest secrets but her own dating patterns. 

SYNOPSIS:

Series Synopsis:

RED FLAG is an hour hybrid of murder mystery, black comedy, and psychological drama, following Jane St. Claire, a commitment-phobic freelance editor who inadvertently becomes a criminal profiler when she realizes that every one of her recent exes is linked to an unsolved violent crime.

But Jane isn’t psychic or a cop—she’s just dangerously perceptive. She “reads” people by noticing behavioral inconsistencies: how they text, how they blink, what they don’t say. As she retraces her romantic past—one ex per episode—she builds a personal investigation board that slowly implicates more than just her exes. It implicates her.

As NYPD’s Cold Case Division begins circling, and someone else starts watching Jane in return, she’s forced to confront the possibility that she wasn’t just unlucky in love—she was being watched the entire time. What started as emotional sleuthing becomes a city-wide conspiracy. The deeper she digs, the closer she gets to something that looks less like coincidence... and more like design.

A spiraling, stylish, and self-aware thriller about the patterns we miss, the people we trust, and the quiet dread of being absolutely right.

Pilot Synopsis:

Jane St. Claire—an emotionally detached, hyper-observant editor with a compulsive need to spot red flags—attends the absurd funeral of her ex’s dog, only to overhear a true crime podcast that names her ex, Miles Sheridan, as a person of interest in a local murder. What begins as a curiosity spirals into an obsessive investigation as Jane uncovers a major lie in his alibi. Despite being dismissed by police, she digs up Reddit threads, Venmo receipts, and behavioral tells that point toward something darker. By the end, Jane realizes this might not be an isolated case—her dating history may be a crime map, and someone’s already watching her.
