When up-and-coming screenwriter Shelby Weiss gets the news that she has the beginning stages of breast cancer, she thinks that life, as she knows it, is over. Little does she know, it is ... but not for the reason she believes. A massive bi-coastal storm rocks the United States, followed by a terror attack that wipes out all infrastructure. Shelby is one of the few women to survive - and by the looks of it, the only remaining woman of childbearing age. Joined by an unlikely cast of characters, neurotic Shelby has to get out of her own head, figure out who she is, and get over lost loved ones in order to move forward. She and her newfound friends will trudge on through a dismal and dangerous new existence that could position her as the Holy Grail of post-apocalyptic America. The hunt is on; Shelby is the prey. Her choices now will shape not only her own future, but the potential future of a nation.
