He makes his way to a bar after trying to go to the Sheriff's office to get his things that he left after his car accident, but the station is locked. She won't allow him to leave, but he does anyway. It all starts when Ethan first wakes up in a hospital room with no other patients and just one nurse. The TV series shows Ethan finding out creepy, horrifying things about the town rather quickly. For example, in the series, Beverly believes she's only been in Wayward Pines for a year, when actually the last year she remembers it being is 1999. Each townsperson has awakened at different times and all believe it is a different year than it actually is. More and more people were trapped in Wayward as time passed. Until then, they'd live in Wayward Pines while the world caught up to its true potential. He got some people together and put them in suspended animation so they would one day wake up in a better world. What does this mean exactly? Well, a billionaire by the name of David Pilcher created Wayward Pines when he realized how terrible the world had become.

This is your official SPOILER ALERT! In the first novel of Blake Crouch's series, Pines, Ethan discovers that the town of Wayward Pines is actually a place where people who are suspended in animation wake up and live.

But what is actually going on with Wayward Pines, TV's newest creepy, too-good-to-be-true little town?įor that answer, we have to go to the book trilogy upon which the series is based and hope the similarities line up as the series evolves. The entire town is filled with strange people who have rules about their way of life: Do not try to leave, do not discuss the past, you must always answer the phone when it rings, etc. The real mystery, however, are the townspeople, as Ethan finds out they were trapped in Wayward Pines as well. The show follows special agent Ethan Burke, who is stranded and basically imprisoned in the town of Wayward Pines, Idaho after getting into a car accident while searching for two fellow colleagues who went missing weeks earlier. The newest thriller TV series set in a creepy town is here, and while it may not be as incredibly awesome as Twin Peaks (it's a classic, seriously), Fox's new show Wayward Pines definitely packs a punch in the eeriness department.
