During a widespread blackout, Matthew and Annie struggle to cope with their sick baby and the increasing lawlessness around them. When Matthew's friend Joe arrives, tensions rise as the men debate how to protect themselves and their families. They purchase a shotgun but Annie disposes of it in the pool. After hearing an intruder one night, they chase him out into the street where he is shot by a neighbor. Fearing for their safety, they decide to drive to Annie's parents' house 500 miles away. Along the way, they encounter more danger when they find a driver dead in an abandoned car while attempting to siphon gas.
