Crunch Time

Season 1 Overview

In a highly classified location, four brilliant, obnoxious grad students are interrogated by government operatives. Why? Because the world is about to end, and it's all their fault. After using reckless "cutting-edge" science for their own petty purposes, this rag tag team creates a small but potentially world-ending black hole in their college lab. The clock is ticking for this secret government agency to clean up the mess these "wannabe scientists" have made.
