The Unit

The father: is an ex-marine and, for him, survival means protecting his family by any means necessary.

The mother: is learning just how much she will sacrifice for her children.

The daughter: was going to go to college. Now, her only hope is to hold on to what's right.

The son: is discovering a brave new world - a world with only one choice to make: kill or be killed.

When survival is on the line, what wouldn't you do for your family?

Susan is learning just how far a mother will go for her children. But how far will she go for a man she doubted before the bombs fell? As Jerry's training and instincts take over, she is certain of one thing — her children need her.

Melanie was going to go to college. Now, she is struggling to find a way to live in a world gone mad without losing sight of what she believes in.

Scotty has a new mission - more than survival. He was saved, and he'll be damned if he won't fight for what's right.

And Bill — Bill was locked up, but the power went out and the guards left. Now he and his fellow inmates have realized that everything is free for the taking...if you're strong enough to hold on to it.
