Over 10 episodes last summer, we learned that the town was created by Dr. David Pilcher (Toby Jones), who foresaw the apocalypse of mankind and snatched up one thousand people to put in suspended animation for two thousand years as the rest of humanity mutated into mindless killers dubbed Abbies (aberrations). Disappointed by the rebellion of Group B — the second test group — and of his sister Pam (Melissa Leo). Pilcher let the Abbies overrun the town in the finale,  dooming everyone but The First Generation of children. Secret service agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) died to save his former mistress Kate Hewson (Carla Gugino), wife Theresa (Shannyn Sossamon), son Ben (Charlie Tahan) and others from slaughter but was it all for naught? By the time Ben woke up in hospital a few years later, The First Generation was in charge led by Class 1 leader Jason Higgins (Tom Stevens) and practicing what Pilcher preached — public reckonings to keep the adults in line.
