After escaping the brutal ordeal with Derrick and the corrupt officers, Josh and the group return to Jeff's farmhouse, the one place that once kept them alive. But the house isn't empty. A Japanese soldier-left behind from the earlier raid-has been hiding inside, and his sudden appearance in the night threatens the women and children sleeping only feet away. The confrontation shakes the group and fractures trust when they need it most. As they recover from the chaos, they discover Jeff's forgotten preparations: hidden food stores, buckets of dried grain, and jars of seeds that could sustain them for months. For the first time, survival feels possible. But with tensions rising, danger still roaming the countryside, and family members unaccounted for, the group must decide whether to stay, explore, or risk everything to search for the people they love. In a world where every choice has consequences, they must hold on to each other-or lose everything that remains.
