A nation fractured. A farm under siege. And a battle for control that will decide who eats-and who doesn't.
In the aftermath of economic collapse, former Nashville engineer Scott Irwin has traded city life for survival on his family's Middle Tennessee farm. After the brutal events in Memphis left him wounded and changed forever, Scott steps away from the tactical team he once helped lead, hoping to rebuild something steady from the soil beneath his feet.
But stability is an illusion.
When a federal agent arrives with orders to seize control of regional farms, Scott is forced into a new kind of fight, one where the harvest no longer belongs to those who grow it. As government overreach tightens its grip, whispers of resistance begin to spread.
Just miles away, a rising revolutionary is building something far more dangerous. Backed by a ruthless black market network, his growing coalition is disrupting critical supply lines of fuel, medicine, and food, threatening to choke what little life remains in a struggling region.
As tensions ignite, Scott is pulled back into the conflict, this time not as a soldier, but as a symbol. Thrust into the political spotlight, he becomes the reluctant voice of a movement pushing back against centralized control.
While state guard forces, local resistance fighters, and remnants of the tactical team prepare for confrontation, multiple factions collide in a struggle for power. Loyalties fracture. Lines blur. And the cost of survival becomes higher than ever.
In a world that won't be put back together, victory may not mean peace-only the chance to endure.
