In an American Midwest abandoned by the United States Government, a single father tries to start a new life with his young daughter. When a band of raiders destroy the only world he knows and spread chaos throughout the countryside, Abraham finds himself banding together with the last few farming families that still inhabit what was once known as Western Illinois. When Abraham meets Hagar, a gritty woman as tough as the brutal country she was raised in, they are forced to lean on each other to survive the terror of a once peaceful countryside gone mad. When there's no place left to run, Abraham and Hagar are forced to fight for their lives and the future of the rural community they love.
