"The Ark" takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions begin as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race; after the brave crew of Ark One reaches their destination and finds it uninhabitable, they must survive long enough to locate a new home for themselves and all the ships that follow; the spacecraft's crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course after experiencing a catastrophic event that caused massive destruction and loss of life.

The crew must understand their enemy better as they attempt a dangerous rescue mission.

In the Season 1 finale, brokering peace with their adversary could cost the Ark One everything.

The crew must decide the best way forward with or without help from their nemesis, Evelyn Maddox.

The arrival of new crew members presents questions of who can be trusted and what to do with them.
