Episode Guide
1. The Big Bang (Pilot)
In Alphaverse, detective Charlie Jade is on the hunt for 01 Boxer, the suspected killer of a mysterious unidentified woman. The trail leads Charlie straight to Vexcor's facility (the largest and greediest multinational corporation in Alphaverse), secreted away in the desert wasteland. As he surveys the ominous scene, terrorist Reena and her lover, Bern, plant a bomb at the base of an identical facility in their utopian world of Gammaverse. In a massive explosion that vaporizes the entire operation, Charlie and Reena are propelled out of their own worlds and into a third parallel universe known as Betaverse.

At a makeshift refugee camp in Betaverse, Charlie meets Karl Lubinsky, an investigative journalist who doesn't buy into Vexcor's slick spin-doctoring of the circumstances surrounding the explosion. Lubinsky vows to uncover the truth about the catastrophe — and about Vexcor's elusive business. He somehow drags a reluctant Charlie along.
