Synopsis of Maniac

Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim are two strangers drawn into the final stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. Annie is restless and adrift, preoccupied with her broken relationships with her mother and sister. Owen is the fifth child of a wealthy New York industrialist family and has spent his whole life carrying a schizophrenia diagnosis that no one has ever fully accepted. Neither has a life that works, and the promise of a radical drug treatment looks like a way out. The story unfolds in a retrofuturistic New York. Created by Patrick Somerville and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the limited series streams on Netflix and stars Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.
