inseparable. For their last summer before college, Alec and Walker
leave the city to live with their rural cousins, where they find

himself to a deep, dark experiment. This season, both brothers must

tensions increase and dormant memories claw to the surface. Swamp
Thing: Twin Branches is a story of shadows, both literal and
imagined--and those that take form and haunt us.
