About Maniac

Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two individuals grappling with their own unique struggles, find themselves drawn to Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech's (NPB) experimental drug trial. Promising a revolutionary cure for any mental ailment, the trial assures participants of a painless and complication-free path to resolving their issues. However, as Annie and Owen delve deeper into the simulated realities created by the drug, their carefully constructed worlds begin to unravel, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, and forcing them to confront the very traumas they sought to escape. The supposedly foolproof system malfunctions, leading them on an unexpected journey of self-discovery and connection.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
- Download: Install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
- Connect: Open the app and connect to a server in the U.S.
- Stream: Log in to your streaming service and enjoy watching your favorite shows securely!
