Normale Frauen, Männer und Kinder, aber auch berühmte Persönlichkeiten und sogar der Papst sind unter den Vermissten. Die übrig gebliebene Bevölkerung - "The Leftovers" - bleibt traumatisiert zurück. Urteilte das Jüngste Gericht darüber, wer die Erde verlässt und wer bleibt? Manche fragen sich, warum sie nicht "auserwählt" wurden. Trauer, Wut und Depression sind die psychologischen Folgen, mit denen die Verbliebenen kämpfen. Ein Teil der Orientierungslosen sucht Zuflucht bei Sekten und Gurus. Polizeichef Kevin Garvey muss in dem kleinen Ort Mapleton ein normales Leben aufrechterhalten. Doch seine Familie bricht allmählich auseinander: Seine Frau schließt sich der mysteriösen Bewegung der "Guilty Remnants" an, sein erwachsener Sohn Tom folgt dem Heiler.
Three years after millions of people - some 2% of the world's population - vanished into thin air, residents of Mapleton, NY weigh the pros and cons of a "Heroes Day" tribute to the local "Departed". Attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy in his strained community, police chief Kevin Garvey faces additional challenges at home with his daughter, Jill, who's lost in a cloud of apathy with her friend Aimee, and son, Tom, who has gravitated to a cult led by the charismatic Holy Wayne. Also of concern is a silent, white-clad group of chain-smoking men and women called the Guilty Remnant, who team up in pairs to stake out people and places around town. As tension in Mapleton escalates, the lives of Laurie, an unexpected member of the Guilty Remnant, and Meg, a recently engaged young woman, converge.
