The Cul De Sac centres on a group of teenagers who, led by 16-year-old Rose, wake to a world where the adults have mysteriously disappeared and all technology has ceased to function. While most focus on their survival, others see it as an opportunity to create a new order in which they make the rules. As a savage type of hierarchy begins to take shape, Rose, with the help of her neighbour Jack, must fight to protect her family from a world that is rapidly tearing itself apart. As dramatic events unfold, Rose begins to suspect that there are sinister, other-worldly forces at work — forces she will ultimately have to confront if she and her siblings are ever going to be re-united with their parents.
