Day 5 is the first dramatic series from Rooster Teeth Productions, set in the immediate aftermath of a fatal sleep epidemic. After a fortuitous drug bender saves his life, addict Jake (Jesse C. Boyd) ventures out into the quiet streets… unaware that most of the world already died in their beds. Now, battling sleepless fatigue and encroaching delirium, Jake teams with a scrappy teenager (Walker Satterwhite), overnight doctor (Stephanie Drapeau) and red-eye pilot (Davi Jay) to search for answers… and just maybe find a way to sleep again. Set in a world of insomniacs, late-shift workers and roving psychotics, Day 5 presents a unique vision of the apocalypse that fuses serial drama and thriller around a human story of survival and redemption. “第五日”是Rooster Teeth Productions的第一部剧作，是一个关于生存与赎罪的故事，背景设定为一种很奇怪的致命病菌于一夜席卷全球，导致人们在睡着的那刻就会莫名地死去，再无法醒转。第二天早上，当因为吸毒而偶然幸存的毒瘾患者Jake（Jesse C Boyd饰）跑到空空荡荡的街道上时，完全没有意识到绝大部分世界的人口都已经死于床上。就这样，Jake遇到了一帮由于各种原因幸存下来的人们，其中有整夜混迹的小流氓、通宵执勤的医生、夜航归来的飞行员。他们组织起来，一边抵抗着极度的渴睡，通过各种方式极力刺激自己的神经以保持清醒，一边寻求着这种神秘疾病的来源，又或许，只是或许，能够找回失落的睡眠。他们到底能够走到哪一步呢？失眠的日子又究竟是否能迎来终结呢？
