"A meteorite crashes to earth and a strange virus kills all the adults in the world. What would you do? Ryan and his brother travel south, stopping in towns on the way, searching for survivors, determined to save mankind. They've made a promise - never give up - never say die, and always help anyone they can find, even when those children seem to have reverted back to savages.
