In 2012, a powerful solar storm struck the planet, burning out power grids, causing batteries to surge and bringing civilization to an abrupt end. Amid the chaos, Ryan meets Abigail at the back of an alley. Trust is established quickly and together, they begin their journey to safety, sharing the bond of lovers. But their lives become threatened by violence as people forfeit their humanity for an existence as animals.

After being befallen by one potential disaster after another, they meet Emma, who, out of necessity, has become something of a survivalist. In the middle of a vast woods, Ryan and Abigail are taken in and with their help, the routine of daily life becomes easier. But some time later, while out hunting it is they who become the hunted. Losing both Emma and Ryan, Abigail now pregnant, is now on her own as she wanders through the woods seeking help.

Now near nightfall, as if delivered by divine hands, help arrives in an unusual form. And after fearing for her life, she comes to trust her redeemers and as promised, they take her to a place she can finally call home.
