Steelheads – Episode 3: Shiny Happy People

Episode 3 of 5

Having escaped captivity, Joleen arrives by sea in Seattle with her companions, Remi, an escaped convict and Luther, a blind captain. A thriller starring Jessica Barden.

When young British tennis pro, Joleen Kenzie (Jessica Barden), is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness, she has herself cryogenically frozen at an experimental lab in Seattle, in the hope that one day – perhaps hundreds of years into the future - there will be a cure and she can be revived.

She wakes up to a world divided. Having escaped captivity, Joleen arrives by sea in Seattle with her companions, Remi, an escaped convict and Luther, a blind captain…

From the creators of The Cipher and Passenger List, a chilling new medical thriller inspired by true events starring Jessica Barden.
