Cole Larpman spent eleven years preparing for an EMP. His wife Carol called it paranoia. Now he has one hour to get his family out of Lander, Wyoming, in a 1977 Ford with no computer chips and a German shepherd named Max carrying their medical supplies.
But the mountains aren't empty. A stranger has found their hidden cache. A ruthless ex-con named Harlan Tate is gathering desperate followers. And every mistake Cole makes could cost the lives of Carol, 13-year-old Jade, tomboy Ruby, and 8-year-old Sebastian.
