PANIC is a new Amazon Prime Video one-hour drama series, written and created by Lauren Oliver (based on her bestselling novel). It takes place in a small Texas town, where every summer the graduating seniors compete in a series of challenges, winner takes all, which they believe is their one and only chance to escape their circumstances and make their lives better. But this year, the rules have changed — the pot of money is larger than ever and the game has become even more dangerous. The players will come face to face with their deepest, darkest fears and be forced to decide how much they are willing to risk in order to win.

迈克尔·法拉第（杰夫·布里吉斯 Jeff Bridges 饰）是一名乔治华盛顿大学的历史系教授，单独抚养着9岁的儿子，他的妻子原是FBI探员，前不久死于一次执勤。最近，迈克尔家街对面搬来了一户新人家，奥利弗（蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins 饰）和雪柔（琼·库萨克 Joan Cusack 饰）以及他们的儿子布雷迪。然而不知是由于正在讲授恐怖组织一课的职业惯性还是第六感作祟，迈克尔总是对这户新邻居心存怀疑，当然，周围没有一个人相信他的荒谬推理。迈克尔开始对奥利弗一家明察暗访，渐渐发现了原来奥利弗一直在用假身份生活，家族史也颇有疑点，但是奥利弗和雪柔的警惕始终让迈克尔的调查寸步难行。直到一天，迈克尔的女友无意在奥利弗的车后发现了一只可疑的包裹，然而就在他们还来不及弄清楚事情原委的时候，谋杀已经笼罩了这座城市……
