When Jake Thompson, a retired Marine, lands in Los Angeles, he has no idea that his world, and those around him, is about to change in a way most people couldn't imagine. Jake's mission is to fight for his life and do whatever it takes to get back home to Gilbert, Arizona. While in the Marine Corps, he always made good on his promise to his wife that he would always come home; he plans on keeping that promise again. As time goes by and society begins to break down, Jake's Marine training serves him well. Not only does he continue to survive, but he helps a young woman and her son get to their home. Across the desert between LA and Phoenix, Jake finds himself fighting for survival; seeking the help of some good people as well as the threat from those who want to prevent Jake from keeping his promise. Jake's story of courage and compassion makes for non-stop action and human compassion.
