They have a beast of a secret. And it's a Live!

When sixteen-year-old refugee Priya’s dad goes missing and is blamed for unleashing a terrifying, mutating plastic-eating beast on the suburbs of Western Sydney, Priya and her best friend Obi must navigate a community in which they are treated as undesirables in order to find her dad, clear his name, destroy the creature plaguing their neighbourhood, and land a visa to stay.

The Disposables is an innovative and thrilling interactive ‘monster’ conspiracy series. In each episode, viewers are encouraged to gather their own social media evidence through Priya and Obi’s TikToks, texts, video calls and CCTV to help piece the puzzle together.
