An American family (consisting of father Ben Matheson, children Charlie and Danny, who is asthmatic, and Ben's girlfriend Maggie, a doctor) struggles in a rural farming village in a world that has been devoid of electricity for fifteen years. Ben's wife and the children's mother, Rachel, disappeared years before while hunting and is believed by all to be dead. Unexpectedly, troops from the Monroe Militia commanded by Captain Tom Neville arrive while Charlie is out hunting, intending to take Ben Matheson prisoner, because General Monroe believes that Ben may know something about restoring the power. Before Ben is arrested, he secretly gives Aaron a mysterious pendant with directions to meet someone and instructions to keep it safe. However, a militia soldier fatally shoots Ben, who was protecting Danny. The soldiers take Danny prisoner and leave. Ben requests that Charlie go to Chicago and find Ben's brother Miles, whom Charlie has never heard of, to help rescue Danny. Aaron and Maggie accompany Charlie. Along the way they meet Nate, who helps them out of trouble. Upon reaching Chicago they find that The Grand has been converted to a tavern owned by Miles -- and Miles immediately identifies Nate as a soldier in the Monroe Militia. After the militia unsuccessfully tries to arrest Miles, who slaughters the troops trying to capture him with Charlie's help, the group sets off to find Danny. Meanwhile, Danny escapes and meets a woman named Grace, but the militia come to her house and recapture Danny. Grace is then shown using another pendant to power a computer and communicate with an unknown party. Flashbacks: Ben rushes home to warn his family that "It's happening." He urgently downloads something onto a USB pendant and tries to warn his brother Miles. Miles, who is in the Marines in South Carolina, is on his way back to base with his friend (and fellow Marine) "Bass" when he is contacted by Ben, but the blackout happens and interrupts the call. Miles and his friend return to base, and it is revealed that his friend "Bass" is Sebastian Monroe, later General and President of the Monroe Republic.

The Rebel and Georgia Federation Alliance is attacked by the Monroe Republic, reducing their numbers from 300 men to 30.

During the attack on the Rebel/Georgia Alliance, Jason is critically injured, but is carried to safety by his father, Major Neville. Monroe kills Jeremy Baker (Mark Pellegrino) believing him to behind an assassination attempt made against him. It is later revealed that Baker had nothing to do with this assassination attempt, strengthening Baker's statement that he made before he was killed, pointing out that the only reason all of Monroe's friends betray him (including Major Neville and Miles) is because his delusions, paranoia, and barbaric nature drive them away. Rachel has Aaron reprogram the flashing LED, which she explains to be first-generation nanotechnology, that she had removed from Danny after his death, and inserted it into her leg to repair the bone and tissues. When Rachel's leg is healed, a group from the settlement saw how her leg was healed and force them to heal one of the group's son, who has been injured and has infection in his wounds. They agree to help the boy, but when they arrive at the electronics store where Rachel's leg was healed, Rachel knocks the boy's father out. Rachel then says that she has to go the Tower first because she has to restore the world's electricity so that the opposing nations could overthrow Monroe and end his ongoing war.

The episode begins with Nora refusing a peaceful proposition from Monroe, requesting information on Miles' whereabouts. As a result, over the next 21 days, she is tortured repeatedly until she finally reveals the locations of Miles, Neville and Charlie. John Sanborn, who attacked Miles and Rachel, rescues Nora from the Militia Prison, after injecting her with a substance which causes hallucinations and paranoia. He also steals a pendant and amplifier for the rebels to use. He tells Miles he did so because he didn't want to carry out his orders of killing her and doesn't want to be responsible for people's death. Subsequently, Nora reveals to Miles that she told Monroe everything. Miles, Nora, Jason, Neville, Charlie, Sanborn, and Hudson board a helicopter bound for The Tower, stopping on the way to siphon fuel from vehicles abandoned in an airstrip. During this stop, the pilot of the helicopter and another rebel, Ramsay, were murdered with an X on their throats from a knife, leading to speculation that the murders were carried out by members of the Plains Nation. Charlie, however, points out that it cannot be a local of the area who did it because there is no food or water nearby. It is also confirmed by Ramsay that it was one of the group who did it, and eyes immediately turn to Jason, as he was seen by Charlie speaking to a member of the Monroe Militia back in Atlanta. Jason attempts to flee with Miles in pursuit. Sanborn quickly notices the knife used to murder the two rebels bore the stamp of Annapolis and follows. He tells Miles that it was Hudson who committed the murders, and then he is shot by Hudson himself. Hudson then reveals that Monroe has his wife, and that he was told by the Militia men that he had to kill Miles, Neville, Ramsay, and Sanborn. Hudson and Miles fight, with Hudson gaining the upper hand, but ultimately is shot dead by Jason. Monroe decides that Flynn is no longer of any use, and tells his forces to kill him. Flynn then discloses information about The Tower, including that it holds weapons which make his helicopters seem like toys. This makes Monroe lead an operation to retrieve this weaponry, but their path is blocked by an invading force within The Tower, which have locked Flynn out of the system, preventing him from gaining access to the building. Rachel and Aaron get closer to The Tower. Realizing that The Tower is now surrounded by Militia, Rachel makes the decision that she will fulfill her personal mission of killing Monroe at nightfall, leaving the rest of the Militia to fight for leadership, subsequently leaving Aaron with the chance of approaching the door to The Tower with the override codes. Rachel walks into Monroe's tent and pulls the pin on a grenade in her hands. Monroe and his men, holding guns, try to talk Rachel down and the episode ends with Rachel releasing the lever on the grenade.

As the power is re-instated, President Foster of the Georgia Federation orders military strikes on Philadelphia, and lightning begins to strike the surface of the Earth at a rapid rate. However, the victory is short-lived as Randall appears and reveals he has been attempting to gain access to Level 12 for a long time, not to turn the power back on for everybody, but for the purpose of sending out ICBMs aimed at Atlanta and Philadelphia in order to reunite the states into one entity, quoting Lincoln's famous line, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Randall then proceeds to say that everything he did was so "this great nation shall not perish." When Rachel asks him why he is doing this, Randall smiles, calls himself a Patriot, and then shoots himself in the head.

Another person enters the room saying that Flynn has succeeded in his mission, and that, "It's time to go home, Mr. President."

The nanotech are also controlling the citizens actions, and allow anyone to visit the city as long as they follow the rules. Now one year since the Patriots, Rachel continues to work on the Pendant and is able to get it working again, and shows it to Aaron and Priscilla. Grace appears to the group and tells them that she has found a way to kill the nanotech, by infecting it with a virus she has been working on. She tells them to travel to Bradbury, Idaho, and that she may be able to bring the power back. Grace later dies in the morning. Meanwhile, Monroe and Miles continue their fight against the Patriots and are joined by Charlie. But while checking an old store, they come across Rachel and her group who ask for their help.

The group of six struggles to Bradbury, where Priscilla sees the sign that the nanotech showed her. They enter Bradbury, and send Aaron and Priscilla to upload the virus into a computer while the rest fend off the townspeople. Miles recognizes Tom Neville at the front, apparently possessed by the nanotech, as are all the people. Neville tells them he initially wanted to kill them in revenge for Jason, but the nanotech showed him that true power is forgiveness, and is flanked by Truman and President Davis. Neville then tells them that the town is all about forgiveness, and they have an option. Join the town, or die. As he says this, an unseen person puts a gun to Aaron's head as he is about to activate the virus.
45	3	"Chapter 3 of 4: Death in the Family"	Angel Hernandez	David Reed & Ryan Parrott	June 1, 2015 (2015-06-01)
Charlie talks about seeing a group of ants kill a rabbit when she was a girl, and says she now knows how the rabbit felt. When the group does not wish to surrender, Neville tries to persuade them by showing them Connor - the person who has a gun to Aaron's head, is among them. Connor states that he forgives his father for loving Miles more than him. When Neville tries to say that Connor has the life Monroe couldn't give him, Monroe shoots him in the head, killing him. President Davis orders the possessed townspeople to attack, since the nanotech cannot attack them directly due to their proximity to the pendant. Aaron, Priscilla, Charlie and Rachel escape to an isolated area and attempt to activate the virus, while Miles and Monroe fight the townspeople. Charlie kills President Davis, and Miles is stabbed non-fatally, but saved by Monroe. As Aaron is about to activate the virus, he and Priscilla are shot dead by Truman, and the computer is destroyed. Monroe kills Truman and the survivors flee. Rachel, who realizes the terrible, selfish things she did in the past, plans to turn herself over to the nanotech. After telling Charlie and Miles about the terrible things she did, Rachel tells Miles to look after their daughter, kisses him, and goes to join the townspeople, led by Connor, thus destroying the pendant. Rachel is then shown possessed by the nanotech.
46	4	"Chapter 4 of 4: Into the Light"	Angel Hernandez	David Reed & Ryan Parrott	June 15, 2015 (2015-06-15)
Rachel is in the midst of a Nanite-induced hallucination, where the Nano use Ben to tell her that, rather than nearly destroy humanity, she saved it by creating them. They see the downfall of the pre-Blackout world as inevitable, and they are doing humanity a favor by being in control. Rachel admits that her joining was a trick, as she recites the virus code. This disables the Nanites, but also kills everyone in Bradbury, including Connor and Rachel. Charlie, Bass, and Miles later bury their friends and go their separate ways. Miles and Charlie return to Sylvania Estates, while Monroe disappears somewhere in South America. The story then fast-forwards to years later with the power never returning. Miles, who is still sad, struggles with guilt over Rachel's death, but eventually settles down with a woman and has a son with her.
