About this listen
A financial system in shambles, America slowly slips closer and closer toward collapse.
As everything is in ruin, a suburban city burns.
As small group of unlikely survivors bands together to weather the storm. A few well prepared, well-armed, and well-trained friends band together. Police Officer John Gonzalez, recently wounded in the line of duty, rallies his group of thrown-together friends into a tight group to survive the end of the world as we know it in the City of Kankakee, an hour South of Chicago.
