Plot Overview
The movie right away throws the audience into a dystopian circumstance.

She goes through the annihilated streets of her area and nestles in a basement where she comes across Stupe, a stoic, previous marine and janitor who unwittingly becomes her protector.

As they navigate through the deranged streets of Bushwick, it is exposed that Texas and other southern states are trying to secede from the United States, igniting a brand-new civil war. The assaulting forces, exposed to be a private militia hired by the secessionist states, are charged with strategically protecting portions of New York as a negotiation technique. Unprepared and badly informed, the militia's invasive attack brings pandemonium to the streets of Bushwick.

Nevertheless, he grows protective of Lucy, revealing a deep sense of duty and compassion underneath his difficult exterior.
