Two months without power has plunged the nation into chaos. Without technology, humanity is crumbling. Starvation spreads while brutal gangs rise, dominating in a savage fight for control. Between John McGregor and his trapped daughter lies a nation in darkness, and a city that has become a fortress of fear.

John McGregor, a former US special forces operative, saw the writing on the wall long ago. He knew that the day would soon come when modern society fell. Those suspicions were proven correct when an EMP attack destroys the nation’s power grid, plunging the American people into a dark apocalypse. John’s property has been set up as a sanctuary for a chosen few, where they could live off the land and be protected in peace indefinitely. There’s just one problem. His daughter Emily is trapped in New York City as the once great metropolis transforms into a dark dystopian nightmare under martial law. Now John must fight his way up the East Coast and venture into the city to find his daughter and bring her home where she belongs.
