Set within the insulated, high-stakes ecosystem of Silicon Valley, The Audacity pulls back the curtain on the contentious intersection of power, technology, and morality. The series explores the warped ambitions, inflated egos, and ethical blind spots of those who believe they are inventing the future — regardless of the cost.
A Satirical Look at Power, Privacy, and Profit
At the center of the story is Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen), an audacious data-mining CEO determined to convert insight and influence into dominance and profit. Surrounded by jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, cutting-edge AI labs, and elite private schools grooming the next generation of “optimized” leaders, The Audacity confronts the unsettling realities behind innovation culture.
Balancing dark comedy with sharp social commentary, the series questions how far ambition can stretch before it snaps — and who gets caught in the fallout when privacy and ethics are treated as expendable.

- Billy Magnussen as Duncan Park
