Plot Synopsis

High school isn't the end of the world...until it is. In this post-apocalyptic series, the city of Glendale, California is populated by marauding gangs of jocks, gamers, the 4-H Club, and other fearsome tribes who are kicking ass as they fight to survive in the wake of a nuclear blast (on the night of Glendale High's homecoming...ugh). Following an eclectic group of survivors -- 17-year-old Josh Wheeler, pyromaniac 12-year-old Angelica, bully-turned-contemplative-samurai Wesley Fists, and more -- as they navigate this strange and treacherous world, DAYBREAK is part samurai saga, part endearing coming-of-age story, and part Battle Royale. On Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the 10-episode first season of DAYBREAK, based on Brian Ralph's 2011 graphic novel.
