Storyline
When leaving set to go home to his pregnant wife, seasoned news anchor Isaac is chatting with
Matt and Tory when strange things begin happening around the studio – cell service is cut, the
power goes out, and an emergency alert circulates. Liz, the producer, hands Isaac an emergency
script stating that the world is going to end. With the clock ticking down and pressure from the
producer, Isaac must decide between delivering Earth's final broadcast or abandoning his post
to see his wife one final time.
