The series follows a group of students who gather for school detention on a Saturday at Kent High. Other students are on campus as well, but involved in various activities (basketball, debate prep, music, etc.). When a nearby chemical plant explodes, they must work together to find a way to survive with only limited resources and protect themselves from those who have turned into freakish zombie-like creatures as a result of the fallout.

"Trespass"

When Zoe and Barrett discover that Lashawn is still alive and has arrived back at the high school, they also discover that he didn't come back alone but instead returned with more people who want to kill the remaining 6 witnesses. Zoe reveals to Lashawn that Natalie died and Barrett warns the others of the events that are happening. Zoe warns Diesel, who is on the floor grieving over the loss of Natalie, and returns to the group. As the reinforcers enter the building, the students hide out. Lashawn gives himself up to one of the reinforcers, who takes him to another room and tortures him until he gives up his friends' location. Grover, Barrett, and Diesel decide to go out to retrieve Barrett's radio to call for help. Grover is then seen by one of the reinforcers. Grover then shows him a picture, in which the reinforcer is then killed by Diesel. The reinforcer then lures out Lashawn and breaks his leg so he can't run from the freaks. He is then rescued by Diesel, Barrett, and Grover. The rest of the reinforcers leave the school, believing that Lashawn is dead and no one remains in the school. Diesel then confronts Grover about the picture that Grover showed the reinforcer. Lashawn wakes up to Zoe knowing that his leg is broken. Grover and Violet are seen walking through the hallways, and the camera pans outside revealing a man walking through the chemical storm without a mask.

"Attraction"

Barrett questions Lashawn about what was happening outside the school, and Lashawn reveals what's really happening at Keller. Zoe and Lashawn continue to reconnect but Zoe grows worried about his broken leg, later revealing that he’ll need antibiotics to help the injury heal due to his diabetes. With no antibiotics in the school, Grover looks outside; when his path back becomes blocked by freaks, he must venture further than planned. Back at the school, Lashawn's health deteriorates, and Diesel and Barrett become suspicious of the freaks' strange behaviour as they surround the school. Grover finds antibiotics, but before he can return to the school he meets another group of survivors and allows them to come with him. Barrett figures out that it is Lashawn's injury attracting the freaks to the school, while Violet and Diesel struggle to secure the building. Lashawn asks Barrett to help him save the others.

"Strangers"

Grover returns to the school with the other survivors, but the original group quickly grows suspicious of the newcomers. It is revealed that Violet has a troubled history with one of the survivors, Zaine, and this causes conflict between her and Grover. As certain people clash with the newcomers, the original group divides into those who want to help them and those who want them to leave. Diesel becomes increasingly suspicious of siblings Anka and Ollie, who seem to have an agenda of their own. The two groups finally come to an agreement on how they can begin to trust each other, but one of the newcomers has an unfortunate run in with an intruder in the school.

"Trust Issues"

The group becomes more suspicious of Anka and Ollie, which leads to Violet volunteering to try to get information out of Zaine. Anka makes Zoe question Barrett's involvement in Lashawn's death. Zaine confirms the group's suspicions as Felicity and Diesel debate the ethics of killing the freaks. Zoe confronts Barrett about Lashawn's death, but is placated when he tells her that he died peacefully. When Grover finds the weapons missing, the two groups become enemies again - leading the original group to keep Sadie, Zaine, Anka and Ollie locked up. It’s revealed that Anka and Ollie are Kellers which increases everyone’s suspicions of them. Felicity finds one of the survivors dead, and Diesel finds out about the intruder. Anka and Ollie reveal that they have a way to save the survivors. The intruder has plans to take control of the school, and he isn’t alone.

"Haters"

The intruder is shown to be part of a larger group of survivors, some of whom were experimented on at Keller. Tensions are still high in the aftermath of Ollie's betrayal, and Anka finds herself with no allies. Zaine tries to make amends between Violet and Zoe. Outside, Grover and Barrett find all of the town's exits blocked. Sadie and Diesel begin to connect as the group scrambles to come up with a new escape plan. Grover and Barrett visit their homes to find Grover's destroyed and Barrett's surprisingly untouched. A misunderstanding at the school leads to tensions rising between Zaine and Violet once more. Back with the new group of outsiders, relationships are strained causing tension within the group. Barrett explains to Grover the reasons behind his plan to expose Keller Chemical. Grover finds out that his father could have been more involved in Keller's experiments.

"Humanity"

Grover continues to defend his father against Barrett’s allegations. They discover that one of Barrett's neighbours survived the blast and she provides them with shelter; they are then caught in a difficult situation when she goes to extremes to save her brother. The outsiders arrive at the school, injuring one of the remaining group. With the others trapped by the outsiders, Violet and Anka are left to figure out how to deal with the intruders. Grover, Barrett and Elise receive a news broadcast calling all survivors to a rescue point, but Elise tries to sacrifice Grover to save her brother. Birdie, an outsider, finds Violet wandering the school but Violet is saved by Anka who created a diversion. Grover struggles to come to terms with his father’s involvement at Keller. In the shelter, Diesel, Zaine and Zoe find a hidden room with a sealed door.

"Rescue"

Grover and Barrett arrive at the rescue point to find a government shelter but are hesitant to trust them. Disguising themselves as government agents, they explore the shelter. Grover and Barrett learn from the news that Ollie Keller was the only survivor from the high school and both grieve the loss of their friends. Back at the school tensions continue to rise between the outsiders, leaving Birdie feeling torn between Hailey and Jake. Grover and Barrett make a discovery that links the government to Keller Chemical, and make plans to expose the truth - but discover a shocking truth along the way. Anka and Violet develop a plan to save the others from the shelter and get rid of the outsiders, but they find it more challenging than they planned. Hailey becomes an ally to the girls after an argument with Birdie. At the government shelter, Grover and Barrett are discovered and one of them sacrifices themselves.

"Turning"

At the school, Violet distracts the outsiders while Anka saves the others from the shelter. Outside, Barrett struggles to cope as he believes he is the only one left. The situation with the outsiders takes a dramatic turn and one of the group is killed. The group begins to worry that they’ve been exposed as both sides grieve for their lost members. Diesel and Sadie grow closer as he confides in her. Barrett is challenged to take responsibility for the part he played in the chemical explosion, and he finds an old ally on the outside. Back at the school, the group comes together to remember all the people they have lost but tensions rise when they realise one of them is slowly turning into a freak. Grover awakens, unaffected by his exposure, only to find his father at his bedside.
