The Colony

10 volunteers enter a simulated disaster-stricken world to see if they can survive and rebuild after a global catastrophe. Cordoned off in a Los Angeles warehouse, they must secure shelter, filter water and defend their new home.

A stable power supply is the top priority as the survivors create a wood-fueled generator from scavenged machine parts. While out looking for supplies, they face off with a motorcycle-riding thug.

After securing the basic necessities for survival, a hot shower seems to be a high priority. However, focusing on comfort leaves the colonists open to a massive attack from outsiders that threatens their long-term survival.

After an attack on their food and supplies, the colonists focus on weapons and security. Meanwhile, a band of gun-toting traders roams through and tests the volunteer's unity.

The colonists have an opportunity to up their power capabilities when they find a stock of abandoned solar panels. But the experiment takes a violent turn when a stranger breeches their security and tries to steal their supplies.

The colonists are rocked by the disappearance of a treasured member during a search party mission. The loss spurs them to build communication devices in hopes that their missing person is somewhere out there listening.

The colonists run into missionaries on a river trip, and John V's moral compass is shaken. The arrival of two new visitors creates an internal rift, and the group must sacrifice one of their own to survive.

A kidney stone puts Joey down for the count, and while he recovers, the colonists are surprised by a new arrival and a very wet situation. Mike and Vlad set out on what turns into a dangerous reconnaissance mission.

As their resources dwindle, the colonists work on a scout vehicle and start to customize their escape truck. Tempers flare when the traders return, and Joey reaches his breaking point.

Mike recovers from a nasty crash and helps the others beef up the colony's defenses. Then, the group races to finish the escape truck before the marauders launch their final offensive.
