Jay Cantrell had the perfect life as a small-town librarian: married just over a year to his second wife, an airline pilot, he also has a daughter in college studying to be an astrophysicist. He's ready to celebrate the first year of his new marriage as he adjusts to an empty nest and a new stage in life. But the sun had other plans and sent a coronal mass ejection as an anniversary present. Awakened before dawn one morning in mid-December by northern lights that blanket the sky - in central Illinois - Jay's world changes in the blink of an eye....

Jay Cantrell, worried that his hands, injured in their trek across the Midwest (season 1), are infected, tries to keep the secret from his group. They’d survived the journey from Illinois to Indiana, returned home to Illinois, and crossed the Michigan border - worrying about his health wouldn’t do anyone any good. Kate, tense from her harrowing trip across the country, is forced to take on the leadership of the group...while Mac prepares his compound for his friends’ arrival and runs into unexpected complications in the form of suspicious neighbors.

The Cantrells have survived everything the world threw at them since the lights went out, but what’s coming will test each and every one of the group, pushing them to their very limits. When they struck deep at the heart of the Grover County Militia, they not only took a stand against tyranny, they took sides in a civil war.

Forced to make a choice between abandoning the people who gave them shelter or saving their own lives, Kate and the group bet on themselves. They hatch a daring escape plan, involving sympathetic locals who aren’t as docile as their militia overlords thought. Up north, Mac comes to grips with what he’s done, what’s happening around him, and what will likely happen next. He begins construction of a last-ditch retreat cabin that may well prove pivotal to his - and the Cantrells' - survival.

Jay is without a car and hiking through winter in Indiana to reach his daughter. Jay must find the will to push through and rescue his child. Kate faces a taste of the reality FEMA has delivered in the aftermath of the coronal mass ejection. She must pass through the fire to return home, but only if she's ready to sacrifice everything. Leah and the other students left behind become firsthand witnesses to the desperation of man and what violence that can bring. They are forced to dig deep and defend themselves or risk becoming a footnote in a new, darker history of mankind.
