Blackout. Chaos. Unrest. Apocalypse. Someone once said that civilization is nine meals away from anarchy. Jared Culp, a Silicon Valley computer engineer, discovers that saying to be horrifically true. After a massive solar flare causes the complete failure of the power grid, society doesn't just teeter on the edge of collapse, it completely falls apart. While most wait for the government to come save them, Jared, acting on instinct, takes immediate action to survive, feeling in his gut that meaningful help—is NOT coming. However, he soon finds out that surviving in a world turned on itself is more dangerous and cutthroat than he could have ever imagined, and nothing his life experiences have prepared him for.
