In a road-trip story, a reclusive prepper abandons his bunker in search of a female prepper from his past; along the way, he meets an unlikely ally who is his polar opposite; they team up in an effort to find their lost loved ones.
Living safely in his bunker, Joe watches and commentates a football game. His dog, Gilligan, has to go pee and starts to whimper. Joe checks the security camera to make sure the coast is clear before taking Gilly out. Joe looks at the sunset and states,
A montage is shown of Joe's everyday routine such as lifting weights, doing sudokus, and watching football. One night, Joe takes Gilly outside as usual to pee and walkers start to approach. Joe puts up a trap that surrounds him and Gilly with rakes and other sharp tools to stop the walkers from getting to them. However, one of the walkers manages to get through without Joe noticing. Gilly jumps on the walker to save his owner, but ends up being devoured in the process. Joe kills the walker, but it is too late. He cries at the loss of his best friend. He buries Gilly near the bunker.
Now all alone, Joe becomes very depressed. He no longer enjoys the activities he used to like. One day, he starts angrily throwing books, no longer finding any enjoyment in them. However, he finds a box full of messages he and a user named "USHLDBSCRD" had sent to each other before the outbreak. Both of them were preppers who had been getting ready for the end of the world. Joe reads through the messages until he gets to the part where she talks about meeting with him in person. Joe had been hesitant before the outbreak, but now curses himself for being a coward. He packs his stuff and sets out on a journey on his motorcycle to find her.
In the middle of the night, while Joe is driving, his tires are popped by some spikes. He walks away and suddenly springs a booby trap that catches him in a net. The person who had set the trap, Evie, approaches the net and kills a walker about to bite Joe. She forces him to cuff himself before freeing him. She then takes Joe captive in her house and explains her situation. She plans on stealing his bike, though she does tell him of some benefits he'll get in exchange. However, she is unable to drive it, since Joe has a kill switch, so she forces him to drive her to her destination. Joe remains uncooperative despite Evie's attempts to be friendly. She gifts him a necklace to wear, which she puts on him. They hop on his bike and drive off, with Evie holding Joe at gunpoint.
On the road, Joe and Evie still don't trust each other. When Joe stops to go pee, Evie forces him to put on handcuffs. When Joe returns to continue driving, he puts on headphones and plays music, so he doesn't have to hear Evie. He starts to sing along with the song and Evie attempts to join in. However, one glare from him gets her to stop. Eventually they stop for the night. Evie starts going through Joe's bag to see who he really is. When she grabs his journal, he becomes angered and tells her to stop. Evie starts reading Joe's messages with Sandra. Evie apologizes for prying into Joe's business and reveals she's also looking for someone. Joe doesn't answer and instead lies down to get some rest. Evie puts a blanket on him to keep him warm.
The next day, the two go on the road again. Evie looks at the sunset sky in amazement, something Joe once did, and says how there's still magic in the world. Joe initially answers in a very cynical manner, but soon apologizes and concedes that some things are still nice. That night, when the two stop to sleep again, walkers surround them. Joe asks for Evie to take off the cuffs, since there are too many walkers to handle by herself. After some hesitation, she throws him a weapon, though he still remains handcuffed. The two fight the walkers and Evie demonstrates her martial arts skills. Now having formed a bond of trust, she gives Joe the keys to uncuff himself. The next day, he teaches her how to drive the motorcycle and they start to bond with each other. This time, the both of them happily sing along with the song together.
