The Librarian

Danielle Ward is an English professor at UNC Chapel Hill and workaholic. On the first day of Spring semester, her girlfriend of five years, Annabelle, gives Dani an ultimatum: stay at home or Annabelle is leaving. Dani is devastated, but she is unable to let go of her ambition.

Halfway through the first day of school, the power goes out. As Dani and her students go in search of a cause, they quickly realize that the problem is much more than just a power outage. A massive solar flare has slammed into the atmosphere and knocked out the power grid. There is no electricity. Anywhere. Cell phones go dark. Cars die and slam into each other. People begin to panic. Looting and riots quickly overwhelm the city. Planes fall out of the sky. Dani is as desperate to find Annabelle as she is to protect her students.

Tensions run high when Dani and the majority of the English Department take refuge in the UNC library. Dani realizes she has zero survival skills, as do most of the people there. Without food and water, they'd all be dead in a matter of weeks. Even if they don't starve to death, how would they survive if the power never came back? To protect the ones she loves, Dani needs to figure out how to survive. So she does the only thing she knows how to do. When in doubt, go to the library.
