The world is dead, but the earth lives on as humanity is brought to the edge of extinction by an act of war. But in the bowels of Los Angeles, Marty and Lucas, working in a small restaurant, are unaware of the unfolding events that will soon force them into a life of survival. During their escape, they meet Julie. She is a beautiful woman who has spent a considerable time in hiding. But due to unforeseen circumstances, Marty and Julie find themselves traveling across the country to a place where he feels their safety is certain.

After the pair becomes a group, tragedy raises its unforgiving head. With their destination in sight, Marty is confronted by the necessity to fight off a confrontation with humankind's animal nature. The losses are more than he can cope with as he gathers together the remainder of the group and continues their journey to find a place to start over, a place to call home.
