Welcome back to a new season! This season we're following a narrative driven story of an attack against the United States using an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon.

Episode 1 tracks the first 24 hours of the largest military attack against the United States and outlines how it will immediately affect the surviving population. All episode source material will be provided at the end of the season once we recap and identify the true threat to the United States.
