    • Synopsis
    • Set in modern-day Berlin, Spides follows Nora – played by Rosabell Laurenti Sellers (Game of Thrones) – a young woman who wakes from a coma without any memory of her previous life after taking a mysterious drug; local police detective David Leonhart – played by Falk Hentschel (Legends of Tomorrow, Marvel’s Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) - and his partner Nique Navar – played by Florence Kasumba (Avengers, Black Panther) – are hunting down that drug in relation to dozens of missing teens. When Nora sets out to discover what happened to her, she begins to unravel a conspiracy of aliens who are using a synthetic drug to infiltrate humans to use as host bodies. The more truth Nora uncovers, the more of her own dark secret is revealed: she is the key to the invasion she is fighting.
