The series follows Winston (Scott) "as he's dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970s New York City to face a past he thought he'd left behind.

The Continental is written by Greg Coolidge, Derek Kolstad, Shawn Simmons and Kirk Ward. The miniseries will consist of three episodes. Albert Hughes will direct the first and last episode and Charlotte Brandstom will direct the second.
