The Cul de Sac is a New Zealand teen sci-fi show in which all of the adults suddenly vanish. After the adults vanish, strange things begin to occur, including a large energy wall which makes people vanish, zombie creatures, and a mysterious "Walking Man" with seemingly supernatural powers.
Rose and her friends must band together to survive these supernatural threats as well as their fellow humans. The Cul De Sac finished its first season with six episodes and is currently producing its second season.
