Nowhere Boys
Created by Tony Ayres
On ABC Me
A serialized supernatural mystery where four teenage boys navigate an uncanny parallel world that erased their existence, balancing high-concept strangeness with genuine emotional stakes about identity and belonging.
Four teenage boys get lost in the forest and discover, when they return home, that they are in an alternate world identical to theirs except for one startling difference - they were never born.
