Nobody was prepared, including the world’s governments. The damage to humanity through loss of life was predictable, yet unfathomable. As nuclear winter spread across the globe, a rapidly cooling climate shocked humanity and many living things to their death.
Nuclear Armageddon had become reality and ordinary people were paying the price. In a world without power, the exchange of information was virtually non-existent. A battle for resources was waged, pitting friend against friend and friend against foe.
For the Bartlett family, their days on Swan’s Island were untenable. They had the means to move on but could not as they waited for two family members may be thousands of miles away.
The family held out hope for their loved ones to return. All the while, they were forced to hold their ground against those who’d threaten their very existence. For, in the aftermath of Nuclear Armageddon, the desperate become dangerous. The docile become deadly. The moral among us become murderers.
