The series is set 97 years after a devastating
nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth.
The only known survivors are the residents of
twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to
the war. The space stations banded together to
form a single massive station named "The Ark",
where about 2,400 people live under the
leadership of present Chancellor Jaha. [1]
Resources are scarce and all crimes, no matter
their nature or severity, are punishable by death
("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18
years of age . After the Ark's life-support
systems are found to be critically failing, 100
juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable"
and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt
to determine if Earth is habitable again in a
program called "The 100", for which the show is
named. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet
they have only seen from space. They are
meant to find refuge and supplies in an old
military installation in Mt. Weather. However,
they land a fair distance from it and soon face
other concerns. Confronting the dangers of this
rugged new world, they struggle to form a
tentative community. However, they discover
not all humanity was wiped out; some people
on Earth, called Grounders, survived the war,
and there are even more dangers lurking
Reapers (Grounders who were turned into
cannibals) and Mountain Men (who reside in Mt.
Weather, the original destination of the 100).
In the second season, the residents of Mt.
Weather aid several surviving members of the
100 after the battle at the end of the first
season. Mt. Weather is filled with humans who
are technologically advanced, but unable to
leave their bunker due to the fact that they do
not share the radiation immunity that those
from the Ark (who were exposed to solar
radiation while living in space) and the
Grounders (whose ancestry has been exposed
to the radiation from the nuclear apocalypse
over the past century) possess that allows them
to survive outdoors. While outwardly appearing
extremely friendly and welcoming, the Mountain
Men harbor dark secrets. Without enough
working spacecraft to return to Earth, the space
station residents deorbit the Ark. The survivors
try to establish a new home on the ground,
searching for the 100 juveniles sent down
earlier and dealing with threats from the
Grounders.
