Aftershock: Earthquake in New York
Created by Mikael Salomon
On CBS
A high-stakes disaster miniseries that treats a catastrophic earthquake as an immediate, visceral threat to a major city and the people trying to survive and manage it.
Without warning, an earthquake rips through the "City That Never Sleeps," turning it into a vulnerable state of chaos: skyscrapers topple, subways are buried in the rubble, countless lives are lost and loved ones are torn apart. As turmoil reigns in the screaming streets, Mayor Bruce Lincoln and former Fire Chief Thomas Ahearn race against time to enact a city-wide emergency plan.
