Roger Gilley is ex-Airborne soldier on a business trip to Washington, DC when a combination terrorist/rogue nation attack is launched against the US. America is hit with a double whammy of nukes and bio-agents. The nation's anti-missile defense shield stops most of the ICBMs, but no system is perfect.

Meanwhile, down home in Georgia, Jenny has her own problems. She has two small children to feed and protect. They are trapped atop a mountain, surrounded by zombies and mobs of starving savages. She doesn't know if Roger is coming home, or already dead. And they are starting to run out of ammo.
