The Rain is a Danish post-apocalyptic[1] television series created by Jannik Tai Mosholt, Esben Toft Jacobsen and Christian Potalivo.

[2] The show stars Alba August, Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen, Mikkel Følsgaard, Lukas Løkken, Jessica Dinnage, Sonny Lindberg, and Angela Bundalovic, with Lars Simonsen, Bertil De Lorenhmad, Evin Ahmad, and Johannes Bah Kuhnke in recurring roles.

[5] When a virus that is carried by rainfall wipes out almost all humans in Scandinavia, Danish siblings Simone and Rasmus take shelter in a bunker.

Along the way, they join a group of young survivors and together they travel across Denmark and Sweden, searching for a safe place, and for the siblings' father, who may be able to provide answers and a cure.

[6] A deadly virus spread by rainfall forces siblings Simone and Rasmus and their parents to seek refuge in a well-equipped underground bunker.

When Rasmus and Simone open the hatch to escape, they are confronted at gunpoint by other survivors who had covered the vents to force the siblings out.

Unable to shoot a woman who is walking the highway holding an infant, Martin allows her to pass the checkpoint.

Simone helps a small child, only to later see him attacked and killed by a desperate group of starving scavengers.

In a flashback, Beatrice tells Martin a story about her family house, similar to the one she told Rasmus, revealing that she is not being truthful.

Rasmus, suffering from the stab wound he sustained earlier, is unable to walk, so Simone plans with the group to steal a car from one of the quarantine patrols run by the "strangers".

As Martin interrogates the captured "strangers" for information, Jean spots a snake tattoo on one of the men and recalls a memory that haunts him.

One day, a quarantine patrol arrives and a group of "strangers" confronts the father of the family, instructing him to come with them.

After the "strangers" leave, Jean buries the family and is introduced to Beatrice and Lea, who had come upon him as he stood before the graves he had just dug.

The doctor lures Simone and Rasmus away from the rest of the group and to her own bunker, confessing that she blames Dr. Andersen, the siblings' father, for the death of her children.

As a prank, her school peers spike her drink, and Lea's drunken behavior is caught on video and shared.

Inside the house of the party, Lea prays for God to save her, and moments later, the rain begins.

When he catches up with the survivors, he tells them Apollon is responsible for ending the world, before injecting himself with the virus and dying.

Patrick discloses to the "strangers" the location of the bunker, where Simone, Lea and Martin are, and about Rasmus not having been infected by Beatrice.

In a flashback, Sten, the head of Apollon, briefs the mission to the "strangers", and then reveals to them that they have ingested nanocapsules of the virus which will be triggered if they leave the zone.

Dr. Andersen has been exposing people to the virus in an attempt to find someone to replace Rasmus, and brutally killed a colleague who found out the lie.

As the lab goes on lockdown, Lea, Jean, Martin, and Patrick are reunited with Simone and Rasmus, and they plan to flee.

The "strangers" block their path, and Thomas tells them that the nutritional supplements Jean, Lea, Martin, and Patrick were given contain the virus nanocapsules.

In a final scene, Sten is making a sales pitch to a select group of investors, telling them the virus can be controlled and weaponized.

Unbeknownst to them, Jakob's sickly younger sister Sarah witnessed her brother's death and their coverup from outside the lab.

Back at Apollon, Rasmus convinces Sarah to be studied by Sten so that they can spread the virus and create a new human race.

Luna, however, demonstrates to Simone the power of the flower extract to repel the virus and she eventually follows the father to the source.

Sarah and Rasmus discover many of the terminally ill patients intended to receive the virus are already dead as Sten has started testing.

Simone, Kira, Jean, and Daniel go after Luna, who has been kidnapped by the young scavengers, intending to trade food for her return.

However, the man leading the group tricks Simone into using the flower extract to escape the virus after being attacked and cornered by the young scavengers.

Simone brokers a deal with the leader of the young scavengers, but he double-crosses them and spikes their Coca-Cola in order to go after the flower.
