Revolution

A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is also about family -- both the family you're born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (series star TRACY SPIRIDAKOS), and her brother Danny (series star GRAHAM ROGERS). When Danny is kidnapped by one of the militia leaders, Captain Tom Neville (series star GIANCARLO ESPOSITO) for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged Uncle Miles (series star BILLY BURKE), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if (or how) it will ever return.

In order to rescue Danny, Miles knows that he and the gang will need help. Thus, the search begins for Nora (series star DANIELLA ALONSO), a rebel fighter battling against the Militia. Aaron (series star ZAK ORTH) confides in Maggie (ANNA LISE PHILLIPS) and Danny pays witness to what Captain Neville is capable of.

On the run from the Militia, Nora leads Miles and Charlie back to the rebel camp. Meanwhile, Aaron and Maggie search for Grace (MARIA HOWELL); and Danny stands up to one of Captain Neville's men.

After Charlie and Nora rescue Miles from the Militia, they set off to meet Aaron and Maggie. Tracking Miles and Charlie at every turn is Nate. As the gang reunites and continues on their journey, unforeseeable challenges await them.

As the gang nears Neville and his men, their hopes of finding Danny grow until a shocking discovery threatens to impede their efforts. Meanwhile, orders from Monroe have upped the value of Danny's life; and Nora connects with a fellow rebel. KIM RAVER (Grey's Anatomy) and JEFF FAHEY (Lost) guest star.

In order to save Nora from her injury, Miles leads the gang on a detour to visit an old acquaintance of his for medical support, but they quickly find themselves in unfriendly territory. Aaron recalls his meek history as he looks back at his pre/post-blackout life. And Captain Neville finally delivers Danny to General Monroe.

When Charlie encounters a village of lost children who have been on their own for years, she relates to a young boy who's suffered a plight similar to her own. Longing to help him and his young friends, she must first convince Miles. Meanwhile, Rachel grows weary of Monroe as she meets someone from her past.

When Nora encounters a close relative (guest star ALYSSA DIAZ), she must make a difficult choice between family and a promise. Meanwhile, one of the most ruthless members of the Militia is tracking Miles, Charlie and the gang; and General Monroe hands Captain Neville a stern warning.

Miles leads Charlie and the gang to Monroe's lair in Independence Hall, but their efforts are impeded when they begin to encounter difficulty in separating fantasy from reality. Meanwhile, Danny starts to grow suspicious of his mother, Rachel.

In the gang's quest to rescue Danny, the time has come for Miles and Monroe to meet face to face. Meanwhile, on the verge of reuniting with her brother, Charlie is conflicted by a shocking discovery...and Rachel tests Monroe's patience.

Picking up right from the epic finale where Monroe gets his coveted helicopters moving, he begins attacking the rebel bases. Miles leads the rebel squad out of Philadelphia and away from Monroe's helicopters and machine guns. Meanwhile, a guilt-ridden Rachel tries to redeem herself by providing power to the rebels -- but once again, must leave her children, Charlie and Danny, behind. As if there wasn't enough heat, romantic sparks ignite between Miles and Nora.

A final act of heroism by one of their own saves the lives of Charlie and the gang, but the loss devastates everyone and they must carry on with heavy hearts but increased resolve. Miles sets out on a mission with Nora to recruit his former Militia comrade, Jim Hudson (guest star MALIK YOBA) and enlist his savage killing skills. Meanwhile, Rachel looks for a power source and a way back into the heart of her daughter Charlie. Rachel also attempts to elude the grip of Randall Flynn (guest star COLM FEORE), her ruthless former boss and ally of Monroe.

Facing personal and professional danger and hard choices as Monroe doubts his loyalty, Neville disowns his son Jason and gets captured by Miles. Rachel and Charlie begin slowly patching their relationship only to be pulled apart again as Rachel suddenly embarks on a quest to restore the power and her self-respect. She must make a dangerous journey to the mysterious Tower as it holds her only chance at redemption.

Paranoia strikes Monroe deeply as Neville disappears and Neville's son Jason makes a big decision. Meanwhile, the familial bond between Miles and Charlie grows stronger. Elsewhere, Miles experiences romantic attraction with both Rachel and Nora. And Rachel sets off on her dangerous quest to infiltrate the Tower and restore power to the world before Monroe can ignite a nuclear device.

When the past catches up with Miles and Monroe in the form of mutual heartthrob, Emma (guest star ANNIE WERSCHING) all hell breaks loose for them -- physically and emotionally. It's up to Charlie and Nora to rescue Miles this time. Meanwhile Aaron's life is turned inside out while accompanying Rachel on her perilous trek to the mysterious Tower where she plans to restore the power.

Miles and Tom Neville find themselves in an unsteady alliance, fighting for the same cause -- but Miles still doesn't trust him. And Charlie, Jason and Nora attempt to pull off a daring river rescue of Dr. Stephen Camp (guest star TIMOTHY BUSFIELD) to keep deadly anthrax out of the hands of Monroe. Meanwhile Rachel and Aaron are captured and threatened by Militia forces.

Romantic connections heat up between two couples -- Miles & Nora and Charlie & Jason -- but disastrous drone strikes from the Militia threaten them all. An assassination attempt on Monroe heightens his paranoia and Georgia Federation President Foster (guest star LESLIE HOPE) contemplates surrender. Meanwhile, Rachel and Aaron push through the Plains Nation into Colorado.

A captive Nora is tortured and left for dead. Although Monroe learns of Rachael's attempt to reach the Tower, he's unaware of her deadly plan for him. Meanwhile, Miles is desperate to find out how so many of his close associates are being brutally murdered. Later, Miles, Charlie, Neville, Jason, Hudson and John Sanborn (guest star LELAND ORSER) struggle to make it out of the Plains Nation to join Rachel and save her from what they believe to be certain death.

Rachel and Monroe battle with more than wits. Meanwhile, Miles, Charlie, Nora and Aaron get inside the Tower...but Neville and son Jason get shut out. Miles and Monroe once again face-off, this time even more lethally.

In the first season finale, Miles and Monroe face-off, while the core group of rebels suffers another big loss. Life-threatening dangers abound on all sides as the Rebels infiltrate the Tower. Miles's leadership abilities and character are sorely tested...as well as his feelings for Rachel and Nora. Inside the tower, Aaron's genius comes in handy, while Tom Neville and Randall Flynn bring new meaning to the dark side.
