Created by Troy Wagner, the series stars Wagner as Jay Merrick, a young man who is given a collection of video tapes that contain unedited footage from his friend Alex's unfinished student film titled Marble Hornets. Two months into shooting, Alex suddenly stopped production on the movie. He gave Jay the tapes and told him he never wanted to talk about them again. Alex moved away and cut off all contact with Jay.
