Just as the nation was getting over the virus, everything went dark. All modern electronic technology - toast. All communications and the Internet - down. The police, FEMA, nor anyone in the government showed up for work any more. Help was not coming. Everyone was on their own. The rule of law . . . lost. Jake strongly suspected a massive EMP had completely destroyed the power grid. But he's a prepper, right? He and his MAG are ready for this, right? He's a retired Army Major, his wife Samantha a retired Army Captain. Other members of the MAG are retired military too, and they've been getting ready for something like this for over a decade. They have experience. Their kids were off to college 90 miles away, and Jake was volunteering at the VA hospital when the SHTF, but he'd planned for that too. He felt confident his plans and his preps would save his family and friends. They were very well-prepared . . . but their neighbors weren't. WARNING: There is some harsh cursing by some of the characters. There are some scenes depicting extreme violence. If you can't handle that—this is NOT the story for you.
