"How do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era, rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?" reads the official logline of the series.

De Niro is one of the most popular actors of all time, having received the Academy Award for 'Best Actor' for his performance in "Raging Bull" and the 'Best Supporting Actor' award for his role in "The Godfather Part II". Having been nominated for seven Academy Awards, De Niro also received an Emmy nomination for Best Actor in the HBO film "Wizard of Lies".
