The Colony

Seven strangers from all walks of life enter a groundbreaking real-life experiment to see if they can survive and rebuild after a simulated viral apocalypse wipes out most of humanity.

To secure their house from a new hostile threat, the colonists try to make an electrical power plant from rotting pig carcasses and an old tractor. And with food running low, Jim and Deville hunt game in the bayou.

The colony looks toward sustainability, but dwindling resources and the introduction of two outsiders to the experiment upset the balance. Later, the colonists are attacked while scavenging for supplies.

A massive fire forces the colonists to rethink their internal security options, and Reno comes up with a creative way to build a huge windmill out of scrap found in the compound.

The colonists' negotiating skills are put the test when one of their own is violently abducted. The ransom note demands their precious resources of medical supplies, fuel and food in exchange for their missing member.

While trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, the colonists discover that their water source has been heavily contaminated. Also, a leadership issue breaks out.

A stranger living on the colony's fringes finally reveals himself and offers food and help, but it could be another trap. The colonists also turn their attention to creating an escape boat to search for a better place.

VOPA returns with unexpected consequences. The colonists turn their focus to arming themselves for an impending attack, and to finalizing the scout boat so they can search for food, resources and an escape.

A militia of outsiders attacks the colonists and their newly fortified compound. The group divides, some taking the scout boat out to look for supplies and a place to escape to. But not everyone makes it back from the mission.

The colonists mount a counter strike on the militia that has been attacking them. Then, their focus returns to finishing the escape boat, but before they can leave, VOPA presents them with one last difficult choice.
