The Story

After a deadly virus and solar storm devastate the country, Nina tries to reach her family’s safe haven using the survival skills her grandmother taught her. Her plan changes when she realizes her car won’t make the journey and she needs a motorcycle to cross the wrecked roads.

That search leads her into a clash with Creed, a former Marine who is tough, guarded, and unwilling to let strangers into his life. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they travel together through a dangerous landscape filled with ruined roads, threats, and the constant need to keep moving.

As the journey continues, their physical attraction grows into something harder to ignore. Between survival, family, and danger, both must decide whether trusting each other is worth the risk of heartbreak in a world where almost everything else has already been lost.
