SANCTUARY, Ep 1 (Exclusive Premiere)

Estranged Swedish identical twins Siri and Helena (Josefin Asplund (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Vikings) in a dual role) have always had a complex relationship. When Helena receives an invitation to visit Siri at an exclusive residential sanatorium in the Alps, she is reluctant but figures it will be a nice vacation. Despite the peacefulness of the clinic, Helena refuses Siri's plea for help in taking care of some business and to swap places for a few days but ends up waking up to find Siri gone. Soon she realizes that Siri isn't coming back, and that the clinic is far from a place of recovery; it's a facility for studying psychopaths. Helena is now trapped in a waking nightmare in which no one is who they seem to be, and everyone believes that she is Siri. Surrounded by the most predatory and manipulative people, including the director of the Sanctuary, Dr. Marvin Fisher (Matthew Modine, Stranger Things, Full Metal Jacket, The Dark Knight Rises), imaginable, escape is now only the second order of business: the first is simple survival. Also starring Will Mellor (No Offence, Broadchurch).
