Nicole Brentwood has it all; a promising career, beautiful home, a multitude of friends, and a loving husband. It only took one day to have her world come crashing in on her.Unable to accept the fact that everyone close to her has senselessly perished, she takes off on an odyssey across the Adirondack Mountains, eventually making her way to a remote hunting lodge in the foothills of Maine where working as a cook, she slowly learns how to adapt to her new life. With the help of the Lodge's owners, and a retired Army surgeon who is battling his own demons while volunteering his time, Nicole realizes by summer's end that she must return to reality and her chosen profession of nursing and start living again.After a lot of coaxing, and the Lodge owner's persistence, Nicole reluctantly agrees to follow Aedan to Mystique River, New Hampshire, a small town in the foothills of the White Mountains, to assist in running an urgent care clinic after they lost their only physician. With minimal staff, antiquated equipment, and a community leery of strangers; both struggle to fit in and do what they came there to do.A late night urgent request from a stranger changes the dynamics of their lives yet again. Blindly following the stranger across the river to help save the life of a child, Nicole and Aedan are thrust into a civilization that they never realized existed, one frozen in time, and immune to the influences of the outside world. Reluctantly accepted by the community leaders after they help heal the child; Nicole sets her sights on uniting the communities on both sides of the river. Unbeknownst to anyone, it will take the knowledge, grit, manpower and stamina of both communities to survive when the unthinkable makes its way to U.S. soil; crippling the nations' electrical and water supply.
