Jericho
When Jake Green returns to his Kansas small-town home Jericho, where his dad Johnston is mayor, everyone is preoccupied with petty private business and family matters, but that changes drastically after a completely unexpected explosion. It soon becomes clear there has been a nuclear attack, but neither by whom nor on which scale. Suddenly life in Jericho, and as the inhabitants gradually discover all over the disintegrating USA, becomes a more primordial struggle for survival, where unexperienced dangers, primitive as well as technological, have to be weighed against pressing primal needs, such as food, fuel and self-defense against plunderers, invaders and even each-other. Jake, whose private story like that of other main characters slowly becomes disclosed to us, proves extremely resourceful and a smart hero, while his father's mayoral authority and even that of the only available medical professionals is soon challenged and undermined, criminal potentials are tapped into by circumstances and good people must rise to the daunting occasion assertively or perish. Even when contact is made with neighboring surviving towns, desperate rivalry soon cancels out solidarity.
Recap of the events of the past 11 episodes, from the day the bombs exploded to the events of "Vox Populi".
Three months after the battle with New Bern tensions are still high between the towns, and Jake has set his sights on Constantino despite warnings from the militia leader; meanwhile, Hawkins meets up with an unexpected ally.
The self-appointed president from Wyoming visits town, providing Hawkins an opportunity to get information, but it puts both Darcy and Jake at risk.
Dale returns from trading with news that the Hudson River Virus has crossed the Mississippi River, and when the town's vaccine supply is seized Jake coordinates a retrieval operation. Elsewhere, Hawkins is forced to show part of his hand to Beck.
Dale's smuggling route is threatened, Hawkins creates an elaborate ruse to get Beck away from his office, and an apparent accounting error found by Mimi has devastating consequences.
Jake blockades the hospital to prevent another tragedy, New Bern comes calling for Heather, and Goetz may finally get his just dues.
Major Beck moves against the rangers in retaliation of Goetz's shooting, and Jake's surrender subjects him to extreme measures. Meanwhile, Hawkins decides to move the bomb, but a betrayal will put everything at risk.
Jake and Hawkins risk their lives to retrieve the bomb and prevent Texas from joining with Wyoming; back at home, Beck is faced with some unpleasant truths, and Constantino offers a partnership.
