What happens

Day One was a planned NBC sci-fi television movie – originally a television series pilot – about apartment residents that survive an unknown worldwide cataclysm that destroys modern infrastructure. The movie/pilot was directed by Alex Graves, who previously directed the pilot episodes for the Fox television series Fringe and Journeyman. The show was originally expected to fill the Heroes time slot, in March 2010, after the 2010 Winter Olympics. It did not air at that time, with NBC never mentioning it again.
