The population of the world is dying, victim to a deadly virus with no cure. Martial law and the Universal Global Order rule. In South Kentucky, former US military officer Derrick Barnes now works for the UGO, rounding up former Americans who are resisting the mandated treatment. As society spins out of control, he starts to question if the new government really has people's best interests in mind. East Texan Kirsten Robbins, her husband, and her neighbors, however, are determined to preserve the spirit of the United States. Stock piling food, medical supplies, and weaponry, Texas prepares to resist the UGO's control. As the conflict escalates, both Derrick and Kristin are drawn into a deadly battle for survival, one that threatens to break them.
