Description

When the world goes dark, survival becomes everything. The only thing. Power grid? Dead. A mysterious virus? Rampant. Enemies? Everywhere. How did this happen? And how do we survive? So begins the post-apocalypse. Part disaster, part terrifying mystery. Order topples quickly once the power goes down. No police. No government. Society itself has failed. Fractured. Disintegrated. The dead pile in the streets. Corpses strewn like dolls. The world as we know it ends with a whimper, a gurgle, a quick dimming of the lights. And now? All the animals come out at night. Welcome to the fuckin' jungle. Chaos rages across the land. Riots. Raiders. Fire. Murder. When the darkness falls, it comes in more way than one. Among the ashes, we meet the scattered, the leftovers: A family struggles to find long term shelter during the first wave of the collapse. Two orphan girls -- a 16 year old and an 8 year old -- gather supplies to help survive their first winter without power. A drunk and drug addict plots to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of raiders. A televangelist races to escape a rumored nuclear strike. Slowly, their paths will cross, their stories will merge, and a new world will be born out of the ruins. Not all of them will make it.
