All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction.

But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house after locking his wife and son in a closet inside. The town has transformed into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet lives have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and knives. Sheriff Dutton tries to make sense of what’s happening as the horrific violence escalates. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh with insanity.
