Plot
Musim 1
The series is set in the near-future apocalyptic, in 2027. Fifteen years earlier, in 2012, a worldwide event known as "The Blackout" caused all the electricity on Earth, from computers and electronics to cars and jet engine, it should be permanently disabled. As a result, trains and cars stop where they are, ships die in the water, and planes fall from the sky and fall. In the years after Blackout, people adapted to this new world without electricity. As the government and public order collapsed, some areas were ruled by their militias and generals.
The series begins with the surviving Matheson family: Ben and his two young children: Charlie and his son Danny, now living in a village near Chicago. He wears a small locket around his neck which is the key to not only finding out what happened fifteen years ago, but also a possible way to reverse his influence. Sebastian Monroe, Monroe General Militia and self-appointed President of the Monroe Republic, whose border is the Mississippi River and the old states of Kentucky and Carolina, are searching for a locket so that he can use their power to control the entire North American continent. In the pilot series, Ben Matheson was killed and Danny was kidnapped by Captain Tom Neville of the Militia. The remaining Matheson family, joined initially by Miles Matheson, Aaron Pittman, and Nora Clayton, are now on the run from Monroe Militia. Monroe's new contributor, Randall Flynn, a former US Defense Assistant Secretary who fifteen years earlier ordered the deployment of weapons technology that caused blackouts, now works with Monroe in his efforts after Ben Rachel's wife (working under pressure for Monroe) escaped from her prisoner. This technology was later revealed to be a form of nanotechnology whose power-draining ability can be countered by pendants.
Opening Intro:
We live in the world of electricity. We rely on it for everything. And then the power goes out. Everything stopped working. We are not ready. Fear and confusion cause panic. The lucky ones got out of town. The government collapsed. The militia took over, controlling the supply of food and storing weapons. We still do not know why the power goes out. But we hope someone will come and light up the way.

Supernatural alumnus Jim Beaver plays the role of John Franklin Fry, "a tough, flirty Texas Ranger whip allied to Miles." The second season lasted six months after the events of the first season.
Themes and settings of the series changed significantly in the second season. Monroe Republic is no longer the main enemy, replaced by Patriots. Sebastian Monroe became an ally (though not easy) of the Matheson family, while Nevilles was largely isolated from this group. The action of the main group of characters is centered in the town of Willoughby, in the country of Texas. There are still plenty of trips from this location (to the Lowlands, the outpost called New Vegas, and to Mexico) but there is not a single continuous wander, as in the first season. The Pendants and Towers are no longer significant, with nanite self-desires being the main science fiction element.
