Hope

Eric, Delia, and Owen are high school friends living together as college housemates when society begins a rapid breakdown. First, the power goes; next the water. The supply chain breaks down, leaving grocery stores and gas stations empty husks - monuments to a society that took centuries to build, and only days to crumble.

Hundreds of miles from the homes where they grew up, the trio - with an assist from Mark, Delia’s gun-loving, survivalist one-night stand who won’t leave - must figure out how to navigate a terrifying new reality where nearly all of their skills and knowledge have been rendered meaningless. Across four acts, the group faces off against their surroundings, their neighbors, and - ultimately - each other, as they realize that surviving today could mean abandoning everything they knew, loved, and believed in.
