Når Andrew finner huset til Jamie er han utsultet, skadd og har ingenting igjen å tape. Et dødelig patogen har tatt livet av mesteparten av verdens befolkning, inkludert alle de to guttene noen gang har brydd seg om. Og er det én ting de har lært i denne nye verdenen, er det å være redd for hva andre desperate mennesker kan finne på å gjøre. Allikevel er det overraskende lett for Andrew og Jamie å stole på hverandre. Sammen flykter de sørover på jakt etter andre overlevende, men hemmeligheter de begge har holdt på kan ødelegge alt for dem. Jamie begynner å føle noe mer enn vennskap for Andrew, noe som gjør den farlige reisen deres enda mer komplisert.
