[2] It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where for the past twenty years Troy (Stephen Moyer) has raised his now grown son, Jake (Drew Van Acker), in isolation in the woods miles away from any remnants of civilization.

Troy and his son Jake have been living off the grid for over twenty years in the wake of an apocalyptic event that destroyed much of civilization and left the survivors desperate.

Troy has constantly drilled Jake on the necessity of assuming any outsider is a clear and immediate danger that must be eliminated; he kills and buries anyone who happens upon them.

He sees a woman working outside a house, but can't bring himself to kill her as his father instructed he do with anyone he encountered.

Jake hides some food to make his father think they have less than they do so he has an excuse to go hunting, and he returns to the woman's home and confronts her; she tells him her name is Henrietta.
