Seven years after a monster apocalypse has overtaken Earth, humanity survives in disparate bunkers, having lost dominance to gigantic creatures that emerged after a failed attempt to stop an asteroid from colliding with the planet. Among the survivors is a young man, Joel, who, after learning that his high school sweetheart, Aimee, is living in a coastal colony approximately 85 miles away, decides to leave the safety of his subterranean home to find her. Despite his lack of survival skills and the dangerous world rife with monstrous predators, Joel's journey is driven by love and the memories of the past.

Through a perilous landscape teeming with surreal and deadly mutant animals, Joel learns to face his fears and discovers newfound survival skills. Along the way, he befriends a seasoned survivor who imparts wisdom and guidance, and a young girl who becomes an unexpected companion, teaching him about survival, sacrifice, and the importance of community in this new world. As Joel navigates the challenges before him, both physical and emotional, his quest becomes much more than a simple journey—it's a testament to human resilience and the power of connections, even in the most dire circumstances.
