In June 2012, the series launched a linear, on-demand version. The episodes are also available through CTV, a Facebook application and Hulu. Season Two is currently in post-production, and will debut in 2014. Season One follows Sandy Rai (Supinder Wraich), who is living in Canada on exchange from India, and Trevor Shale (Dan Fox), a fellow Ryerson University School of Journalism student, as they become embroiled in the mystery of the Georgia Guidestones. An unsolved murder starts them on a search for the truth, which leads them to the mysterious monument in rural Georgia. Sandy and Trevor begin to realize that the conspiracy they are unraveling may have apocalyptic repercussions. Season One was shot on location in Canada, the United States, and India on a budget of $300,000.
