Raised By Wolves

Androids Mother and Father flee an uninhabitable Earth to settle on the planet Kepler-22b and start a family with six human embryos. Twelve years later, only one child, Campion, remains. As Mother and Father begin to malfunction, the arrival of the Ark of Heaven – a spacecraft carrying the Mithraic, a religious order of surviving humans – presents a threat that Mother has no choice but to confront.

After her confrontation with Marcus and the Mithraic, Mother takes five of their Earth-born children – Tempest, Paul, Hunter, Holly, and Vita – to live on the settlement. As she and Father attempt to put the shaken newcomers at ease, Marcus struggles to survive alone on Kepler-22b. Meanwhile, Campion tries to ingratiate his new friends but begins to question Mother’s motives.

When the Mithraic kids fall sick with a mysterious illness, Campion suspects Mother is poisoning them and plans an escape. As Mother and Father attempt to prove their good intentions, Marcus and Sue, desperate to get their son Paul back, work to convince the other surviving Mithraic to mobilize a rescue party for the children.

Determined to prove his utility to their family unit, Father tries to teach the children how to hunt some of Kepler-22b’s mysterious creatures for food. Meanwhile, after the Mithraic make a stunning discovery that potentially fulfills one of their prophecies, a debate about how to proceed ignites a conflict between Marcus and Ambrose, their leader.

Under Marcus’ command, the Mithraic set out on a deceptive path to rescue the children, and along the way, encounter a fellow survivor from the Ark. Back at the settlement, Campion and Paul bond during a hunting expedition with Father, Mother attempts to learn more about her origins, and Tempest’s trauma continues to haunt her.

After reconnecting with her creator, Mother finds herself distracted by intense feelings she didn’t know she was capable of, leaving the settlement vulnerable to Marcus, Sue, and the Mithraic’s swift approach. As Campion continues to question his family’s principles, the other children’s loyalties are tested.

Marcus’s decisions stress his relationship to his family as he struggles to maintain his clout as leader of the Mithraic. Mother is able to see Marcus for who he truly is, which threatens his power and puts Mother in a precarious situation she might not recover from. Meanwhile, Campion is faced with a choice that could result in dire consequences.

As Marcus continues to embrace his Mithraic devotion, Sue worries he may no longer have her and Paul’s best interests at heart. Meanwhile, Mother experiences what she believes to be malfunctions, and Hunter works on a secret project with Father.

Sue is determined to keep the children safe, and in doing so, struggles with whether or not she can trust Mother. Meanwhile, a new threat arises and an increasingly erratic Marcus causes the Mithraic to question their leader.

Paul begins displaying troubling behavior not unlike that of Marcus, leading to a shocking discovery. Father struggles with human-like emotions. Mother and Father discover a startling secret about the planet they’re on, just as a new threat arrives on Kepler-22b.
