description:  The grid is down the world is in flames and FEMA is demanding his ship and cargo but Captain Jordan Hughes isnt buying it. When the lights go out seemingly for good Hughes quickly finds being stranded far from home on a ship with working generators and a cargo of ten million gallons of irreplaceable fuel isnt exactly a low profile position. Faced with rising crew discontent and surrounded by worsening violence ashore things cant get much worse  until they do. As the remains of the federal government become increasingly corrupt and self-serving Hughes joins a ragtag band of sailors farmers preppers ex-Coast Guardsmen and dissident soldiers in an effort to re-unite his crew with their families and use remaining resources to rebuild a devastated society. Along the way they face a desperate and starving population rampant violence from street gangs and escaped convicts and powerful warlords created as an unintended consequence of the federal governments ill-advised use of mercenaries.
