In this bleak scenario, a dad and his little boy journey through the remains of a world destroyed by an unknown disaster. Their connection is a source of optimism among the debris, with the father acting as protector and mentor in the face of constant danger. Traveling south towards the shoreline, the duo come across the leftovers of a fallen society, where they have to defend themselves against other survivors, and search for food and resources. However, upon reaching the coast, it appears just as bleak and lifeless as the rest of the land. As the father's health deteriorates, he instills in the boy a moral code and a feeling of optimism. Following the father's passing, a stranger appears, offering to take the boy to his community.
