A man and his young son struggle to survive after an unspecified catastrophe results in an extinction event, which causes the death of all plant life and virtually all animal life.

When the man shoots an intruder using one of three bullets they have saved for their family as a last resort, she accuses him of wasting the bullet deliberately to prevent her suicide.

When the cannibals return, the man and his son hide.
