In the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, two former baseball players, Ben and Mickey, navigate the desolate New England landscape. They are an unlikely pair; Ben is resourceful and pragmatic, while Mickey longs for normalcy and detaches by listening to music on his headphones. Struggling to survive, they rely on scavenging abandoned homes and cars for supplies. Ben tries to instill a sense of survivalist discipline in Mickey, who resents the harsh realities they face and yearns for human connection and shelter.

As they journey through the wilderness, tensions between the two men rise. Mickey's desire to find a community contrasts sharply with Ben's insistence on staying isolated and mobile to avoid both zombies and surviving hostile humans. Their conflicting approaches to survival test their friendship and their resolve. The duo's odyssey takes a turn when they come across a group of other survivors, raising hope for Mickey but suspicion from Ben about the threat these new people might pose. The film captures the complexity of their relationship as they grapple with the persistent danger of the undead and their own inner demons.
