Plot

According to the show's official synopsis, "Nearly 20 years ago, Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) was the lone survivor of his Manhattan firehouse on 9/11, and in the wake of the attack, was left with the unenviable task of rebuilding the station. After a similar tragedy strikes a firehouse in Austin, Texas, Owen -- along with his troubled firefighter son, T.K., he takes his progressive philosophies of life and firefighting down to the Lone Star State to help them start anew."

Now settled in Austin, Texas, Owen Strand faces all-new challenges brought about by 2020, not least of which is the problem of the pandemic that still rages through the world.
