Borrasca QCODE A gripping psychological thriller starring Cole Sprouse as Sam Walker.

Over nine episodes, we uncovered the unspeakable secrets of Drisking, Missouri and the people who live there. After leaving the audience with a jaw dropping cliffhanger, we are finally returning to Sam and the terrible truths of Drisking.Across seven episode of Season 2, a ghost of Sam’s past arrives to drag him back to Drisking for revenge. Back to the forests that color his nightmares. Back to the mysteries he never solved. Back… to the gates of Borrasca.Please be advised this show contains adult language, violent acts and triggering situations. It is intended for adult audiences only.Produced by QCODE.
