It’s the story of a retired SASR soldier who is pretty battered and broken by his time in the military. He searches for a life of peace and quiet and finally finds it on a small West Coast Settlement called Little Wanganui. He’s just going about living his normal life when a Nuclear disaster sets off EMP’s across the globe and resets everything to a time pre-technology.

Because resources are now scarce, there are a group of people who are set on obtaining control of the area our hero calls home. Reluctantly he assembles a group of locals and trains them to be a militia capable of defending their home.

In the beginning Brad comes across as very strong and unaffected by his past, but as time wears on the cracks begin to show. He’s a very flawed character who is trying to do his best in a difficult situation.
