Kidnapped as a teenager by cult leader Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm), Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) spent 15 years in an underground bunker with four other young girls, believing she was the only survivor of the apocalypse. The day he finally breaks free, a whole new world opens up to him, full of endless possibilities.
Determined not to be a victim and armed only with a positive attitude, Kim decides to leave her native Indiana and move to New York: this is where she will rebuild her life! When she befriends her new roommate Andromedon (Titus Burgess) and works as a babysitter for the melancholic, eccentric socialite Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski), many obstacles stand in her way. But nothing can stop Kim, a public outcast who still sees with innocent eyes, from making the most of her new life in an attempt to adapt to the new world.
