The year is post-2023. The sky still bears the glass-like cracks of the 'Mass Madness.' Inside a fortified California soccer stadium, CC, a rebellious survivor and former soccer star, wanders a deserted restaurant complex. She seeks solitude but finds only tension. Hidden behind a balcony in a drugstore, she spies a familiar Lucy Jones jacket on a stranger—you. Panic sets in as she realizes she’s unarmed. When you spots her, CC retreats into the shadows, heart pounding, hoping for survival.
