When you play with things that do not belong on earth, you are courting with disaster. At a lab on the outskirts of Madison Wisconsin, Brian accidentally creates a viral mix of overwhelming capacity. Sent to Stockholm to a conference so the agency can play with it further, he unknowingly spreads it to all the delegates. On live television, till the reporters themselves succumb - civilization is shown falling into a spiral of fear and brutality. When the power grids fail – the absolute chaos is hidden, except that which is outside your own door. Finally all hope is gone and the earth falls silent. Yet a few survive.
We now follow a small group in the southern hemisphere who struggle to grasp the reality of the new world they were unwillingly thrust into. With no power, no law, no comfort, and no hope, they forge out an existence and discover the comfort in relying on others to survive while experiencing every emotion known to man along the way. The choices we make and how to deal with fear, loss, triumph and peace all while dealing with your own mortality.
This story explores the reality of a sudden withdrawal of modern convenience, the emotions that ensue and how a group can plan a future where the way of life of their descendants will undoubtedly regress till all modern knowledge is lost – or is that the case? It is both a sobering jolt to the futility of the way we live, and heartwarming in the revealing of the need for community in the most dire of circumstances.
