'Rod' Rodick crashes in the Eastern Fringe, he has no idea that his aircraft was the last viable craft left on the planet and that his crash signified the start of a terrible new era.

They begin an arduous journey westward to stay ahead of the rising inferno, while keeping their own raging desires in check.
