Jericho is a series about the lives of the citizens of Jericho to face their lives after some major cities in America are destroyed with nuclear bomb. The city became chaos and isolated from outside world.
As the citizens wonder about the rest of America, Jericho deals with not having any means of communication. While some of the town begins to break down in the face of this unknown terror, their anger and confusion brings out the worst in some, but some emerge as unlikely heroes as Jericho demonstrates the personal strength that people have when facing unexplainable hardships.
At first glance, it looked as though the super-powers were at war, but it would later be revealed that the attack was the work of terrorists — though how many terrorists, no one knew. Whatever the case, Jericho was completely cut off from the rest of the world, and no one had any idea what fate held in store for them: another bomb, perhaps; or starvation; or slow death from radiation?
Jake’s father Johnston Green (Gerald McRaney), the mayor of Jericho, valiantly tried to keep the community together and to avert wholesale panic, endeavoring to maintain radio contact with the rest of the country and the world, and organizing searching parties to glean new information about the apparent nuclear holocaust.
