Gina Rodriguez leads the cast in the Netflix sci fi thriller Awake, set to premiere on June 9.
How long can you survive on no sleep and zero electronics? Global hysteria ensues after a mysterious catastrophe wipes out all electronics and takes away humanity’s ability to sleep. Scientists race against the clock to find a cure for the unexplained insomnia before its fatal effects destroy the human race.
When Jill (Rodriguez), a former soldier, discovers her young daughter may be the key to salvation, she must decide: protect her children at all costs or sacrifice everything to save the world.
