“Six prolific authors have written six Black love stories all taking place during a power outage on a sweltering summer night,” Netflix said in a statement. “From the perspective of 12 teens with six shots of love, Blackout takes place as a heatwave blankets New York City in darkness and causes an electric chaos.”
