Fifteen years ago, adulthood proved fatal for humankind. A virulent virus burned through the race, claiming everyone who'd already survived another wrenching medical condition: puberty. Jeremiah, played by Luke Perry, was a child when The Big Death came. He lives in a crumbling world that could be humanity's tombstone or its next incarnation. As it happens, Markus Alexander, played by Peter Stebbings, leads a group in Thunder Mountain that wants to resurrect society. Jeremiah runs into the Thunder Mountain clan while looking for the Valhalla Sector, a place that his father said holds secrets necessary for survival. Eventually, he and his friend Kurdy Malloy, played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, join with Alexander. But with their new mission comes surprises. There's Ezekiel, who tells Jeremiah about things that have yet to happen to him. And Meaghan, the oldest person known alive, and a carrier of The Big Death. Perhaps more surprising, at least to Jeremiah, is the fate his father met as grownups grew extinct. |
