Synopsis

Essentially Jekyll & Hyde with an AI in an alternative Liverpool. A Robotics company in Liverpool called IA Industries have to fast track a project to ensure they can sell it. When they download a new package into it, they merge, and create a Jekyll Hyde character who is rational and inquisitive one moment to violent and ruthless the next. It breaks free from its facility, and the company need it back or they are finished.
J1S stumbles around the streets of Liverpool, one minute watching, the next minute killing. The more humane side questions why he was created, the other just reacts and takes control. Soon their split personalities actually benefit the situations they are in. Will the company get him back, or will the residents of Liverpool be safe?

Marvel Television’s VISIONQUEST is an all-new original series screening on Disney+, which concludes the epic trilogy that began with 2021’s ground-breaking, award-winning WANDAVISION and 2024’s acclaimed AGATHA ALL ALONG. Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including Friday, Edith, Jarvis, and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
