Storyline
Plot Summary |
What would you do without--everything? In this epic adventure, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape void of electricity: a world of empty cities, local militias, and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology--computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights--has mysteriously blacked out forever.

Quotes |
Miles Matheson:
We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion lead to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out, but we're hopeful that someone will come and light the way. See more » |
