In the desolate mountain town, she encounters a group of survivors on the way to the fabled Safe Zone. Impressed with her fighting skills, the group's leader invites her to join their ranks. But trust is a rare commodity in Eve's new reality, and she must decide whether an alliance with the dangerously sexy Archer is worth the risk.
