In the year, 2017 a plague decimates the global human population with a survival rate of only one in six hundred.

It is in this world that Jake Markett must travel to a refuge in South Georgia, a bastion of hope and safety for the few survivors who make it there. Walking down a rural road in the post apocalyptic world of 2026, Jake hears the sound of children screaming in terror and goes to their aid. From that moment, he and the three black children he rescues are on a dangerous journey to a place of sanctuary. Their path is hindered by the arrival of a paramilitary gang led by John Saint.
