When all goes dark, they’re left alone. As starvation provokes chaos, can one man defend all he holds dear?

For Kevin Barton, the problem is compounded by the presence of his sixteen-year-old daughter's best friend, Dina, who's been stranded at the house after yet another sleepover. When Kevin's attempt to escort Dina home ends in robbery and humiliation, their "second daughter's" overnight visit becomes a permanent stay. Kevin doesn't really mind. Dina helps with everything from hauling water to digging a garden, and she does it with a smile. But with food scarce and hunger eating away at reason, her large appetite and constant presence sets the household on edge, causing a rift between Kevin and his wife, Monica.  
Help is offered by the man who stops Harpursville from sliding into everyone-for-themselves chaos, but Kevin knows what he means when he says he wants Dina's "services" and he's not about to pimp the girl out for some wood and deer steaks. Now facing a two-front war, Kevin must find the power in himself to protect Dina and keep his family together.
