 A father transports his son to safety following a nuclear explosion and battles starving stragglers and marauding packs of cannibals in his way. Based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy.
This place takes place in a post apocalyptic world. The world had a disease of some sort and now it is in ruins.The father seems to have developed some kind of cough on this journy, making it even harder. A father and his son are trying to walk down south because they think they may find safety from the roving gangs of lawless killers. The only weapon they have is a pistol with about 3 shots left, and one is used near the beginning to kill a bandit who is attacking the boy.
The father is having dreams about his wife also in the story. as they get further south they find many disturbing things but they do find a bomb shelter filled with food and ammo. They have to leave and get south so they pack up as much food as they can. They then find a beach and the kid has a good swimming. They spot a boat and find a flare gun.
As they are walking past a building, an arrow hits the father in the leg, and he is injured, but shoots the aggressor with the flare gun lighting him up. when they get further south the dad is dying, and he gives his son some last words, and falls asleep coughing. when the boy wakes up his dad is dead and he is frightened.
As he leaves the spot where they slept a man spots the boy and goes up to him. The man has been trailing them for days, but he is a "good guy". He is with a group of the very few non cannibals. He takes the boy back to his group and the story ends.
