"He connects with two students Abbie and Leila from the local school for "troubled teens" who are desperate to escape and could be the key to unearthing everything rotten in the town," reads the official synopsis.
Speaking to Tudum ahead of the series release, Martin revealed that they were a "wayward teen in the early 2000s", and that their best friend was also institutionalised when she was 16.
And so, Wayward was born, described as "a thrilling and genre-bending limited series about the eternal struggle between one generation and the next, what happens when friendship and loyalty are put to the ultimate test, and how buried truths always find a way of coming to the surface".
