An isolated mountain town at what is starting to seem like the end of the world. A virus of unknown origin has swept the land. The government is unresponsive. The power has gone out. Communication with the outside has become impossible. A town decides, after hearing a final police transmission from a nearby village, that the plague is heading their way. They hastily decide to quarantine themselves and refuse to let anyone else back in – even residents who may be returning home.

After refusing entry to Sadie, a returning college student, the townspeople hunker down and realize they may not be able to cooperate with each other. Who will be in charge of food and the rest of their dwindling supplies? Will they continue to pay for items? Who will maintain order? And how will they accommodate the fact that some of them – like Sadie’s father – are suffering more than others?

As the townspeople grapple with growing internal discord, they realize that in sealing off the town to save their lives they may have lost their community, and their sense of themselves, instead.
