The Story

When a nuclear strike hits the American Midwest, five teenage refugees fleeing the fallout find themselves stranded in the middle of the Oklahoma dust bowl. Their bus is gone, their supplies are low, and the horizon offers nothing but heat and haze. However, as they stumble upon a mysterious, abandoned town, they realize the wasteland isn't empty—and the ghosts of the past may be more dangerous than the radiation behind them.
