Set in high-end San Francisco, “Surface,” stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“The Morning Show”) who also executive produces, as Sophie, a woman who has suffered a traumatic head injury that has left her with extreme memory loss, believed to be a result of a suicide attempt. As Sophie embarks on a quest to put the pieces of her life back together with the help of her husband and friends, she begins to question whether or not the truth she is told is in fact the truth she has lived. Through twists and turns and an unexpected love triangle, this sexy, elevated thriller asks: What if you woke up one day and didn’t know your own secrets? Surface is a story of self-discovery which contemplates if we are pre-programmed to become who we are, or if we choose our own identity. 

“This is a psychological thriller and we set out to make something that would hook people from the very start and play with these ideas of life or death,” creator West shared with Shadow and Act. “Sophie’s struggles are something that we never wanted to shy away from, but something we always wanted to treat with respect. And really come from emotion and try to be honest about what she was feeling and going through.”

New episodes of Surface drop Fridays on Apple TV+.
