The EMP hit two months ago. No power. No law. Nobody coming.
Joseph Keller got his family into the Wyoming high country before it happened. A cabin. A wife. Four kids and a newborn. And a winter that will kill every one of them if he gets a single thing wrong.
He has four and a half cords of wood. He needs seven. It's the seventh of November.
So he's teaching his fifteen year old everything, fast. How to set a snare a rabbit will actually walk into. Why fat is worth more than meat. Why a man who fires a shot tells three miles of country exactly where his children sleep. The boy still half believes a truck is coming with men in vests handing out water bottles.
That belief will kill him.
