“When she was arrested in Singapore after being on the run for a decade, not only was Asia in shock, but she sent a shiver down the spine of people from around the world. Dubbed "The Black Widow Killer", Qi was found guilty of poisoning 21 middle-aged men from Japan to Singapore after she changed their wills, sucked their families dry, and transferred over $100m US to her offshore bank accounts.”

At its core, HUNTER/GATHERER is a twisted love story between a psychopath and the man who’s obsessed with her. Things get complicated when the man discovers his best friend is married to her. Like in KILLING EVE their relationship is a sexually infused chess match for power that drives the audience to know: Will they ever be together?
Using a first-person voiceover similar to YOU, HUNTER/GATHER aims to expose what men and women are really thinking about each other but through the lens of two troubled minds. Why?
In order for traumatized people to love someone, they have to overcome their personal traumas by firstly forgiving themselves. However, in a culture that prevents them from dealing with their pain, the show poses a central question: Will Qi and Lee choose to hold onto their trauma or deal with their pain and love each other?
Part romance, part psychological thriller, and with a hint of humor, HUNTER/GATHERER is a 10-part 45-minute serialized show in English that Hitchcock would be jealous of.
