Here's everything you need to know about Incorporated's first season.
Welcome to 2074. Following years of climate change and the resulting political upheaval caused by this, the United States is a mess.
209822
In fact, corporations – the only entities with money after ecological disasters caused the government to go bankrupt – now function AS the government. As in, they rule with an iron fist, rewarding those that are loyal – and punishing those who aren’t.
209823
Those that work for the corporations live in the Green Zone, protected and with the finer things in life. Everyone else lives in the Red Zone, where resources are scarce and survival is a daily struggle.
209824
Meet Ben Larson. He’s in middle management at Spiga, a biotech corporation that’s one of the world’s most powerful. He’s married to Laura, a doctor – and the boss’ daughter.
209825
Laura’s mom, Elizabeth, is a high-ranking executive at Spiga. Her right hand man is Julian, the head of security.
209826
Why? Ben wants to find his teenage sweetheart Elena, who was forced to sign herself over to Spiga as a corporate prostitute (executives get a LOT of perks at Spiga) in order to keep her father out of jail.
209827
Why? So Ben can take his job and use his new title to get access to Arcadia - and rescue Elena.
209828
Ben’s got a secret. His real name is Aaron, and he’s actually from the Red Zone who built a fake identity, married Laura and got a job at Spiga.
209829
When Ben learns Elena is working at the Spiga executive retreat, Arcadia, he schemes to get his boss, Chad, kicked out of the Red Zone for corporate espionage.
209831
Ben finds competition in co-worker Roger, who’s a real jerk. Roger learns Ben’s identity and threatens to expose him. So, Ben kills him.
209832
Julian starts to suspect Ben guilty of the crime, but Ben manages to prove his innocence (by giving himself amnesia for awhile – don’t ask). Ben is later promoted.
209833
Ben visits Arcadia and makes contact with Elena. She’s irritated with him, but quickly cozies up to him. And we learn it’s likely due to ulterior motives, as she seems to be part of an underground resistance movement.
209834
Meanwhile, Laura remains traumatized by a kidnapping she barely survived. It happened when she visited the Red Zone.
209835
Deciding to confront her fears, Laura visits the Red Zone and decides to use her medical skills to open a clinic there. This does not make her mother happy.
209836
By season’s end, Laura learns she’s pregnant AND that her mother had her father killed when he committed corporate espionage. So, she’s not having the best day.
209837
Meanwhile Theo, Elena’s little brother, is one of the only people that knows Ben’s secret.
209838
To make money, Theo becomes a MMA style fighter that battles others for the enjoyment of the rich.
209839
When he throws a fight, his manager Terrence threatens to kill his boyfriend. To save him, Theo offers to give up Ben’s true identity.
