Ambient is a multi-part series where the young teenage Audrey McCray navigates through the ups and downs of constantly moving with her parents to finally settling down in the tiny town of Rolland where outsiders are unwanted. The socially awkward but beautifully silent Audrey is befriended by one of Junction High School's most popular football players, Cooper Williams. As Audrey grows close to Cooper, she learns why the town is so hesitant to open up to the outside world. When she finds out what the secrets of the town are, she will be forced to make a choice between the living and the dead.
