In the near future, a small family is surviving in an underground shelter. After a nuclear war, the world is ravaged by massive storms. They emerge from their shelter after nearly a year and a half. Their quest to find others leads them through the mountains of southern Colorado. There they meet up with other survivors, but soon grow complacent. That complacency will lead them to The Boss, a self proclaimed religious prophet. His aspirations for the survivors will test their survival skills to their upmost, and turn their world upside down.
