Imagine being the only survivor of a disease that kills every member of your family and nearly everyone you’ve ever met.
You are among the lonely few to live and now you must start again in a strange new world where everything that was once safe and familiar is now strange and dangerous.
Set in the present day, Survivors focuses on the world in the aftermath of a devastating virus which wipes out most of the world’s population. What would we do? How would any of us cope in a brave new world where all traditional 21st Century comforts – electricity, clean running water, advanced technology – have disappeared?
These are the questions faced by the bewildered but resilient group of survivors at the centre of the drama. The unlikely leader of the group is Abby – a mother who before the devastation worried about credit card debts and the prospect of returning to work – but who is now a source of immense strength fuelled by a determination to find her son. She is joined by Greg, a good man who hides the pain of his past; Anya, a doctor who has seen too much; Al, a playboy who becomes surrogate father to Najid and finally, Price - handsome, urbane but unbeknownst to the others, a high security prisoner before the virus hit.
