Bloom
In a small country town called Mullan, a devastating flood claims five lives, leaving the community grappling with grief and loss. One year later, a mysterious plant appears, growing where the victims died. Its berries possess the miraculous power to restore youth, but at a significant cost – the rejuvenated are compelled to amend their deepest regrets, no matter the consequences.
As word of this inexplicable "offering" spreads, the town's residents clash over the dwindling supply. Among them are Ray, desperate to save his Alzheimer's-stricken wife Gwen; Max, a bitter farmer pining for lost love; and Sam, a mysterious stranger with a violent past. The series explores their intertwining stories as they navigate the complexities of renewed youth, unfulfilled desires, and the weight of past mistakes.
The plant's power raises profound questions about morality, second chances, and the true meaning of redemption. As the rejuvenated residents pursue their compulsions – from rekindling old romances to confronting long-buried secrets – they're forced to re-evaluate everything they hold dear. With limited berries and time running out, the characters must decide what they're willing to sacrifice for a taste of youth and the opportunity to right their wrongs.
