A gritty cop drama set in 1967 Los Angeles, "Aquarius" brings you the story of Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny) a decorated World War II veteran and homicide detective, responsible for policing a city ridden by cheap drugs, rising crime, protest, and police brutality. When Emma Karn (Emma Dumont), the 16 year-old daughter of an old girlfriend, goes missing in a sea of hippies, Hodiak agrees to find her. In doing so, he teams up with the young, idealistic undercover vice cop Brian Shafe (Grey Damon), who behaves like a hippie to infiltrate this new counterculture and find her. The two embark on an action-packed investigation which, unbeknownst to them, leads them to Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony) and the Manson Family before their infamous murder spree.
