Life is dangerous now and, armed with a gun, Jamie goes to pull the trigger. But there's something about Andrew - something that stops Jamie in his tracks. Jamie takes him in, and as Andrew heals and they eventually step out into the strange new world, their relationship starts to feel like more than just friendship. But trouble isn't far behind, and it's not long before they come face-to-face with a world torn apart and society in ruins.
