When an infection spreads through New York City, corner store owner Miguel Santos barricades himself behind his father's security gates—until three desperate neighbors arrive at his door: Sarah, a single mother; her young daughter Emma; and Mrs. Kowalski, a retired teacher with nerves of steel. What starts as temporary shelter becomes an unlikely family forged in crisis, as they navigate dwindling supplies, evolving threats, and impossible choices while discovering that survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about staying human. This intimate apocalypse story focuses on character over carnage, showing how ordinary people find extraordinary courage when everything familiar crumbles away, and that sometimes the most radical act of rebellion against despair is choosing to care for one another.
