Severance follows Mark Scout, a Lumon Industries employee who — along with coworkers Helly, Irving and Dylan — has undergone a controversial procedure called “severance” that splits their memories into a work-only self (“innies”) and an outside self (“outies”). When a mysterious outside contact appears, Mark’s two lives begin to collide as he and his colleagues uncover disturbing truths about Lumon, identity, and free will. Wikipedia+1
