Part of the Blackout Nation series
One second, the world works. The next, it doesn't.
For ER nurse Sarah Mitchell, it was just the end of another brutal shift. For survivalist Jake Cooper, it was the day he'd been preparing for his entire life. When a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP) erases a century of progress in a silent flash, the two neighbors are thrown into a world without power, without rules, without hope.
While the unprepared descend into chaos, the organized and ruthless rise to build empires from the ashes. A brutal warlord named Marcus begins to consolidate power, hunting for those with the skills to rebuild his new world-or die resisting. At the top of his list: a combat-trained medic named Sarah.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Sarah's battle-hardened instincts and Jake's encyclopedic knowledge of survival become a last-ditch effort to protect the innocent. Together with a small band of survivors, they must navigate a city that has become a hunting ground, where every shadow could hide an enemy and every choice could be their last.
This complete first season is a relentless, high-octane journey from the first moment the lights go out to a stunning cliffhanger that reveals the true, terrifying scope of the global catastrophe. When the world goes dark, the real monsters come out to play.
