To recruit actors for his rehearsals, Nathan opens an acting studio in Los Angeles, teaching 'the Fielder Method', which involves covertly observing and imitating unaware subjects. Feeling insecure about his own performance, Nathan reenacts the class with actors and a fake Nathan as the teacher while the real Nathan plays the role of Thomas, a student. Nathan makes his students immerse themselves in other people's lives while he immerses himself in Thomas's life, even living in Thomas's home. Nathan returns to Oregon, where his 'son', Adam, is now a teenager. Nathan and Joshua, the actor playing Adam, decide that Adam should lash out due to resentment of his absentee father and develop a drug problem, a situation that mirrors Angela's own past. Adam suffers an overdose and is tended to by emergency responders played by Thomas and another Fielder Method graduate. After he runs away from home, the 15-year-old Adam reverts to a 6-year-old since Nathan plans to relive his son's earlier years.
Through interviews with victims, cybersecurity experts, and a former FBI agent, this gripping miniseries dives into the dark frontier of online crime, where a teenage Finnish prodigy transforms into one of the most notorious hackers of his generation. The series exposes the hidden alliances, moral gray zones, and devastating consequences of a digital war waged in silence — where lines blur between rebellion, genius, and destruction. It’s a portrait of a hyper-connected world where a single keyboard can shake governments and ruin lives. In the first two episodes, the hunt starts and intensifies: the FBI infiltrates DEF CON in Las Vegas in search of the elusive figure known as Zeekill. What follows is a chain of chaos as Kivimäki launches false emergency calls that mobilize armed units, turning quiet suburbs in Connecticut into war zones and drawing one FBI agent into a personal nightmare that reveals just how fragile digital order really is.
