Wayward Pines is a 2015 American television series. It's based on the novel ''Literature/{{Pines}}'' by Blake Crouch, and tells the story of U.S. Secret Service agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon), who is investigating the disappearance of two federal agents in a mysterious Idaho small town. Of course, not everything is as it seems: the residents behave strangely, Ethan encounters roadblocks in his investigation everywhere and most bizarrely of all, he seems unable to leave the town...not least because it's surrounded by fencing. It might be best-described as Series/{{Lost}} meets Series/TwinPeaks meets other crazy stuff.
