Eternal Dawn

Eternal daylight. Eternal night. A thin green line is all that remains.

Season 1 – Year 0: Collapse

In 2040, a world starved for energy embraces HeliosCorp, a company selling “limitless” clean power. When storms intensify and grids fail, a small team of scientists discovers the truth: Helios isn’t making energy – it’s siphoning kinetic momentum from Earth’s rotation. Days lengthen by minutes, then hours. Oceans surge, jet streams buckle, and global supply chains snap under blackouts and panic.
Governments move to shut Helios down, but the damage is past the point of return. Riots, mass migrations, and martial law follow as coastlines drown and heat domes expand.

Amid the chaos, evacuation corridors form toward a narrow band of permanent dusk – the only zone where life can still endure between burning day and frozen night.

We follow the Reyes family as they fight through collapsing cities and stormfronts to reach the twilight line, carrying fragments of pre-Collapse knowledge and a desperate plan to keep it alive.

Season 1 charts the final weeks of the spinning world – and the first, uncertain steps into humanity’s new geography: the belt between fire and ice.
