The world is connected. But only his son sees how.
Created by Tim Kring
On FOX
A mystical drama about a father and autistic son discovering hidden connections in the world, balancing grief and wonder with the search for meaning through pattern and fate.
Martin Bohm, a widower and single father, is haunted by an inability to connect to his autistic, mute 11-year-old son, Jake. Their relationship and their lives take an extraordinary turn when he discovers his gifted son has the ability to see things that no one else can and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events.
