"We are all given a space in life to fill, a roaring emptiness in time… and it's how you choose to fill that void, that will determine the difference in becoming a man or a legend."
James was always in awe of his father's wisdom and advice. But his Father's words fell short until America was attacked from within, and he faced the decision to keep hiding alone in his Father's bunker tucked into the hills of Eastern Ohio or to fight back. Nearly two years after the first explosions, James unknowingly rescues his Father from an enemy convoy headed for the High School prison camp. Now, James and his group of teen fighters, The Risers, and a clan of hardened veterans plan to liberate their townspeople. But James soon realizes that his father isn't the kind and gentle man that he remembers. For James, the real battle will be choosing what's right in the face of all that is wrong.
