After the apocalypse the world was a different place. Those who survived did so by wits, strength and by banding together. Julia is a soldier-not by choice but circumstance in a world where taking up arms is a necessity. She's buried the softer parts of herself including her heart. Leroy on the other hand is a warrior. An ex-soldier who has to come to terms with what he hides and a loner by choice. Now they have a mission-retrieve those missing from Camp Queanbeyan. Survival is just the first step on a rocky road toward redemption and there's no guarantee of success.
