SYNOPSIS:

RIOT.s. Format: 10 x 52-minute anthology series Genre: Apocalyptic, Psychological, Social Drama

RIOT.s. is a high-impact, character-driven anthology that captures the explosive spread of violent civil unrest across North America. It begins in Vancouver, with Edward: a solitary, disillusioned young man whose psychological breakdown triggers a local uprising. What starts as a personal implosion becomes the match that lights the continent on fire.

Each of the 10 episodes takes place in a new city over a single day, from Philadelphia to San Antonio, Oakland to Wallace (Idaho), Los Angeles to Washington D.C., even on a tribal reservation and inside a foreign military base. Each story explores a different cultural, political, or psychological fault line.

Two narrative forces drive the show:

MICRO LEVEL: Deep, introspective storytelling à la Taxi Driver. Voiceover and subjective narration bring us into the minds of fractured, conflicted individuals. MACRO LEVEL: Visceral, large-scale mayhem inspired by World War Z, where chaos is visual, brutal, and immersive. The RIOT.s. become a character. Their spread is unpredictable, mutating from protests to apocalypse. Veronica OhChi, a national news anchor, is the thread connecting all episodes. By the final chapter, even she isn’t safe — trapped in her studio as the world outside collapses.

RIOT.s. is not a political manifesto. It offers no easy answers. Just raw humanity, intimate truths, and a nation on the edge.
