"The unforgettable 1970's series based on the novel by Terry Nation is reborn in this new retelling, set in the modern day! Left bewildered and numb, untouched by a virus that swept across the world killing all but a random election of desperate souls, these are the 'lucky ones,' still alive when so many died. This lonely few now have to step into a strange new world where everything that was once safe and familiar is now strange and dangerous. Among those struggling for survival are Abby, a devoted mother missing her son; Greg, a loner, hiding the pain of his past; Anya, a doctor who has been seen too much; Al, a playboy who becomes surrogate father to Najid; and Tom Price, handsome, dangerous and a high security prisoner before the virus hit. In the ghost cities and empty fields, power, water and food are scarce. Just to stay alive the survivors will have to band together, utilize their talents and learn new skills. But can they all be trusted? And what new trials await those trying to rebuild a dead civilization?"--Container.
