When several brilliant bursts of white light flash high in the sky, millions in the United States and Canada fail to even notice. They have no way of knowing, but they're about to find themselves in a vastly different world. Most initially assume a power blackout, a minor inconvenience to start their day. When they find that even their cell phones are dead, however, these strange events start to give them pause. Eventually, they're surprised to discover that the streets are completely bereft of traffic and remain ominously silent as well. Turning to their televisions or radios for answers only leaves them with more questions, as they're no longer functioning either. The quiet and stillness of the morning is unnerving, but not overly concerning... not yet anyway. Given the fact that 90 percent of Canadians live within two hours of a U.S. boarder, when a large scale attack is launched against the greatest superpower on Earth, it affects the vast majority of Canadians as well. As the world's militaries band together to combat an unknown rogue nation, the citizens of the United States and Canada are suddenly thrust into a world where the rule of law no longer exists. This is a story of courage, perseverance and friendship from the perspective of several unsuspecting families struggling to survive America's destruction and by extension, Canada's.
