HOMECOMING

A woman (Janelle Monae) wakes up in a rowboat adrift on a river, but she has no memory of how she got there — or even who she is. The search for her identity leads to the Geist Group, the mysterious wellness company behind the unorthodox Homecoming Initiative. Walter Cruz

— trying to build a new life after experiencing the traumas of war and the

initiative — quickly realizes that there’s a new, even more, insidious version of the program underway. With all of this going on, anonymous Geist underling Audrey is thrust into unexpected positions atop the corporate ladder.
