A dark, apocalyptic miniseries that frames humanity's survival as a spiritual reckoning between good and evil in the aftermath of civilizational collapse.

After a deadly plague kills most of the world’s population, the remaining survivors split into two groups - one led by a benevolent elder and the other by a maleficent being - to face each other in a final battle between good and evil.
