VIDEO: Sneak Peek - 'Two Boats and a Helicopter' Episode of THE LEFTOVERS

Below, check out a sneak peek of the next episode of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS titled 'Two Boats and a Helicopter'.  The series airs on Sundays at 10PM on HBO.

The series was created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta. Lindelof serves as showrunner. Episode 2 was written by Damon Lindelof & Kath Lingenfelter; directed by Peter Berg. 

Based on Perrotta's bestselling novel of the same name, The Leftovers is an original look at The Rapture...or was it The Rapture at all? Set in a small New York suburb, the intimate family drama focuses on the residents of the fictional town of Mapleton, whose preconceptions are shattered in the wake of a global event dubbed "The Sudden Departure." Three years after the fateful day when 140 million people Disappearedwithout a trace, the series focuses on the ways ordinary people react to inexplicable events that can unite or divide families and communities, examining how their untold grief and The Strain of an unprecedented calamity can turn faith into cynicism, paranoia, madness or cult-like fanaticism.

At the heart of The Leftovers is the Garvey family. Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux), the town's beleaguered chief of police and father of two, is trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy when the notion no longer applies. While Kevin and his rebellious daughter, Jill (Margaret Qualley), try to go back to the way things used to be, Kevin's son, Tom (Chris Zylka), sees the event as a wakeup call to take action. At the same time, Kevin is faced with the conflict between the townspeople of Mapleton and the Guilty Remnant, a mysterious cult-like group that seems to offer an escape for traumatized residents.
