Ep 1. The Shorter Way

Victoria "Vic" McQueen, a teenager with a troubled past, discovers that she has the ability to find lost things using her motorcycle, which she calls "The Shorter Way." She uses this power to find her missing necklace, but also discovers a mysterious bridge that leads her to places she's never been before. Meanwhile, a sinister man named Charlie Manx is kidnapping children and taking them to a place called Christmasland, where they never age and are always happy. The two become connected when Vic crosses paths with Manx on the bridge and realizes that he may be more than just a figment of her imagination. The first episode sets up the supernatural elements of the show and delves into the complex characters at its center.
