Wasteland

As part of HBO's plan to showcase its popular international content, U.S. audiences are treated to this original HBO Europe production from the Czech Republic. The eight-episode psychological/crime drama tells of how a close-knit, multigenerational mining village is torn apart by the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl. It sets off a series of mysterious, shocking events that involve a foreign coal-mining operation and the town's mayor, Hana Sikorová, who is also the missing girl's mother. As Hana begins doubting and suspecting everyone around her, the once-peaceful community begins to fracture and residents start showing their true colors.
