North Bend is inspired by the true events of project MK ULTRA — a secret CIA program that took place during the Cold War, where experimental drugs and mind control methods were tested on people without their knowledge. With the country on the verge of economic collapse and political revolution, the CIA recruits Seattle DEA Agent Brendan Kruge to test an experimental mind control drug on unwitting citizens.
From Scout President James Haick: “Scout is very excited to present such a fresh representation of a dark yet fascinating subject matter. We love what the creative team has put together, and truly believe our ‘Scout Mavericks’ will as well.”

When is this going to be released?
I don’t think there’s an exact release date yet, at least to my knowledge.
