The year is 2019 and the
world is ripe for the next great pandemic.
Viral genomes mutate on the fly, casual intimacy is common and travel is
easy. These factors and others allow the
spread of a caustic invader to overwhelm, then overcome their host organism --
us. Calgary, Alberta, known to the world
for The Stampede and 1988 Winter Olympics, is home to Raven Falconer, an
aspiring author, and her three roommates.
The women, fun-loving and educated, are intent on furthering their
careers and life's circumstances. Soon
their lives will be tested to the very limits of friendship and human
endurance.
The planet's history is
put on hold as Canada suffers the devastating effects of an out-of-control
virus, spawning a worldwide epidemic.
Travel, commerce, all day-to-day activities are suspended, but it's too
late. Thousands, then millions fall
victim to the infection. The elderly and
weak succumb while the survivors lose brain function and ultimately their
identity, spiraling into a zombie-like state where only carnal instincts
prevail.
Seeing the writing on the
wall, the friends retreat to the mountains of Banff in search of peace and
shelter, hoping the worst will pass.
They emerge from a secluded cabin to find marshal law instituted and a
world turned upside down, where kill or be killed is rampant. Join Raven, her best friends Mick, Bobi, and
Hannah for the ride of their lives.
Throw in an Olympic Biathlon competitor, Nathan Edwards, infected with
the transforming virus and nowhere is safe.
Episode One traces the roommates’
flight from the city and their face-to-face encounters with an emerging, deadly
threat, the Huskers: animalistic post-viral humans that will do anything to
survive.
