America is now a place very few people were prepared for, and now many of them are regressing as well. Good and moral men are forced to live like animals in order to survive and feed their families. Stan’s military training, his cunning, and his preps are the only things that will keep him alive and safe now. Then one day Stan must choose to save a young woman or let her be raped and murdered in cold blood. Saving her means taking her in and providing for her, while not knowing if he can even trust her. Will she be a good partner for him at the cabin, or another deady foe? In the end, he gains valuable intel about a nearby group of men who are terrorizing the region. Will this group find his cabin during their searches for food and supplies? Are there others like them out there? The enemy could be anywhere now, and while Stan fought in many deadly campaigns and black operations, this is different.
