Created and written by Leah Rachel, who co-showruns with Akela Cooper, Chambers centers on Sasha Yazzie, a young heart attack survivor (Sivan Alyra Rose, The Entrada) who becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donors sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased — some of which are troublingly sinister.
