Notes on the Aftermath

An extended family on a joyous Christmas camping vacation in a mountainous valley in north central Pennsylvania survives the end of the world.

In this sparsely populated valley they acquire new friends and allies while encountering fierce enemies. They battle nature, the remnants of a predatory drug dealing motorcycle gang, existential questioning and internal moral conflicts as they strive to build a New World in their valley. The first 100 days culminates with a life and death battle between the extended family and their allies against the bloodthirsty motorcycle gang called the Marauders. Only one group will survive to control the valley.
