The power doesn't fail all at once.
It disappears -- quietly, deliberately.

Daniel Mercer keeps the lights on for a living. When the electrical grid begins shutting itself down without warning, he's among the first to realize this isn't an accident -- and not something that can simply be fixed.

As the city slips into darkness, communication collapses, and authority fractures, Daniel is forced to navigate a world where the systems people depend on vanish overnight. Ordinary rules no longer apply. Every decision carries weight. And somewhere in the chaos, someone is watching -- guiding events toward an outcome no one fully understands.

Ashes of Tomorrow: Episode One follows a single day and its immediate aftermath through the eyes of a man who knows how the world is supposed to work -- and must confront what happens when it doesn't.

This is a story-first, character-driven opening to a post-apocalyptic series about collapse, consequence, and the choices that define survival once the lights go out.

Episode One is a complete narrative arc and the starting point of the Ashes of Tomorrow series.
