As the world collapses, one man will stop at nothing to save his daughter...

Austin Merryman is a single father, struggling to care for his 14-year-old daughter, Savannah. But he's also a journalist, and when a dicey meeting with a contact goes wrong, Austin is forced to escape a deadly ambush by plunging into a raging river... Leaving his daughter all alone.

Amanda Patterson has troubles of her own. When the engine on her crop-duster plane fails, she barely survives a crash landing in the forest. Then she finds a struggling, frantic Austin, half-drowned in the river. And despite his broken leg, he'll stop at nothing to get back to his daughter.

But the plane crash was not an isolated event. A devastating EMP attack has crippled the entire region. Society is breaking down. Scavengers and gangs prowl the countryside. As law and order vanish, Austin knows only one thing for sure: Savannah needs him.

And not even the end of the world will keep him from her.
