The world as they knew it is over.
When an electromagnetic pulse from an unknown attacker is detonated high above U.S. soil, the Lower 48 is plunged into darkness and Boy Scout Troop 137 is forced to turn what began as a summer camping trip in the high desert of west Texas into a life and death trial of daily survival. The boys must learn to hunt, endure an unforgiving and unrelenting climate, avoid those that would do them harm, and deal with loss and the unknowns of a world thrust into darkness. The Troop is high adventure and survival in the vein of Hatchet and Red Dawn.
