The film begins “2 months earlier”, a young women is in the library just reading a book when she gets a phone call from her mother. Her mother tells her she needs to get home quickly because something is
wrong, at first she just shrugs it off but as her mother sounds more panicked
she asks what’s happening, then it cuts to 2 months later.
There is then a news broadcast that explains that there is a rising number of missing people, the broadcast has a very weak connection and keeps cutting off until it eventually cuts off completely.
The young woman is then seen lying on the ground in the middle of
nowhere, the surroundings are bare, no one is in sight and she is completely
alone. She's lying by a tree with a lake in the background to emphasise her
isolation. After a few seconds of the camera being on her, she wakes up, she
doesn't have any memory of who she is, her life and how she got there, she then
gets up, she is still slightly disorientated from waking up and takes a while
to come fully round. At first, she can barely stand up, she’s still in the
process of waking up and obviously hasn't eaten for a while, when she pulls
herself together, she begins to walk down the long, endless path to try and
find help and figure out what happened. After a long walk, she comes into an empty wooded area. She
walks around the area looking for clues and an explanation, she keeps walking,
as she wonders more around the area, she then comes across a group of people, who
are the other survivors. The group appears quite strange, they're dressed
looking a little scruffy and are quite hostile to new people. She doesn't know what’s
going on and needs help to find out where she is so she decides to go towards
them. She over hears them talking and discovers that they have no idea what
happening either, she finds out that everyone’s missing and they're potentially
the only survivors. They all have their own individual theory of what happened.
They believe that there is a conspiracy theory that has caused all the
devastation, the conspiracy theories of the group vary from aliens to the
government. The group discusses these theories while playing a game of poker
and betting who they think is right. As the girl comes in contact with the
group and they notice her, they immediately become hostile and cautious of her.
The group searches her to see if she's hiding anything, they find a small knife
which they then become angry and suspicious about. The group then tries to find
out what the girl is doing there and then discovers she's one of them and allow
her into their group.
