Jericho

- Season 1

(2006)

A small Kansas town struggles with life after a nuclear attack destroys America.

Jake rallies Jericho residents to take shelter from fallout from the nuclear bomb that destroyed Denver. However, the shelter is uninhabitable.

Satellite news reports the extent of the nuclear catastrophe to the shell-shocked townspeople, and Stanley claims he saw tanks rolling into Denver.

When a barely conscious outsider is found looting the pharmacy for supplies, his identity and treatment cause controversy. Elsewhere, the desperate need for fuel endangers both parties and patients.

When power is suddenly restored to the town, the results are mixed.

Townspeople tap into their "bully" as they begin to realize rescue will not be soon, and interesting negotiations occur at the Richmond farm.

Gray returns and his experiences have rattled him... to the detriment of the town, Jake negotiates with someone he hoped he wouldn't have to, and Johnston remains ill.

Jake and Eric go on a desperate mission to get medicine for their father, but what they find at the hospital may prevent them from ever returning.

The mercenaries follow Jake and Eric home and the resulting crisis makes the town face how defenseless they are.

Supplies dropped by airplanes throw the town into an uproar that Gray capitalizes on, and Jonah makes a move that will have far-reaching effects.

Gray makes his move, aided by hysteria that ensues after a murder, Bonnie may take up with the wrong person out of hurt feelings, and Jonah complicates everyones lives... again.

Set 36 hours before the bombs' detonation, Jake and Hawkins lives are shown and how they ended up in Jericho.

A trip to a trading outpost for a windmill part turns risky when a rule is broken. Back at home, Roger finally reveals to Emily a little of what happened to him, and Gail gets some things off her chest to Mary.

Jake, Stanley and Mimi run into difficulties on a hunting trip.

The marines come to town, offering Anderson an easy way out of hard decisions, but their behavior raises Jake's and Johnston's suspicions.

April faces a complicated pregnancy, while Hawkins tries to cover up Sarah Mason's death.

Roger takes extreme measures when Gray decides to kick the refugees out of town, and Hawkins begins the process of finding who's coming after him.

Jake discovers Hawkins has not been completely honest about his background.

When the windmills and townsmen are returned early and Eric is not with them, Jake and Hawkins go to New Bern to try and find him, but what they uncover has disturbing ramifications for Jericho.

An incident at the salt mine escalates the tensions between Jericho and New Bern. Jake receives assistance from an unexpected acquaintance.

New Bern makes its move, and Gray falters.

The battle with New Bern ensues, with Jericho residents out-manned and out-gunned, but not outsmarted. A friend of Jake's sends help from an unexpected source.
