Lock the doors and board up the windows. The power grids are down, food is scarce, communications have been reduced to short range transmissions, and the only sound on the radio is a killer's heavy breathing. After a catastrophic incident that abruptly depletes the global fuel supply, Eddie Slate, a local car salesman, finds himself spiraling into an apocalyptic world where the only rule for survival is self-preservation. Alone, frightened and barricaded in the house, Eddie spends the empty hours on a handheld radio searching for a friendly voice. Nobody ever answers, at least not until a mysterious drifter starts transmitting and takes a dark step into his life.
