Nineteen year old Daniel is just trying to live his life, working an average job to make ends meet in Alaska's largest city while attending the local college. But all that is rendered meaningless when a meteorite smashes into the planet, plunging our world into an apocalyptic winter and crushing civilization as we know it. As each new day brings less sunlight and more cold, Daniel is forced to watch the people around him die one by one: some from cold, some from starvation, and some from each other.
