Plot

One year after an airborne infection decimates the world's population, Ann (Lucy Walters) struggles to survive in the woods. There are few resources and she is forced to live off the land, as abandoned houses attract dangerous, infected corpses. Throughout, Ann clings to the hope of civilization, listening to a crank radio that broadcasts an emergency message in French, a language she does not understand, and other reminders of her past life.

That past life includes her husband, Jason (Shane West), and child, an infant daughter. They are gone, and the movie explains their fate through a series of flashbacks.

Ann comes across an injured man, Chris (Adam David Thompson), and his teenage stepdaughter, Olivia (Gina Piersanti). She helps them, nursing Chris back to health, but finds it difficult to trust him or his daughter. Her distrust is mixed with feelings of loss for her family and the emotional dangers of taking in a replacement family. While the infected threat is omnipresent through occasional encounters and psychotic, echoing screams throughout, in the end the three fight an onslaught. Chris and Olivia are attacked by the infected, and Ann tries to help. Only Ann and Olivia survive.[3]
