In the near future, we face our worst nightmare. A nuclear war has devastated the planet, destroying most of humanity. Hiding deep underground, an unnamed warrior and his family survive the apocalypse. After many years, they return to the surface to restart their lives. However, they discover that an evil presence now controls what is left of humankind, and this presence brutally murders the warrior’s wife and daughter.
With the death of his family, the unnamed warrior loses his mind, plunging him on a destructive path of darkness. Five years pass as he continues his insatiable thirst for revenge. Then one day everything changes, when he saves a young girl of unyielding faith named Angelica. The girl reminds him of his daughter and the life he shut away struggles to resurface. As armies rise, the warrior is desperately needed in the final battle of good versus evil, but only if Angelica can help him regain his sanity in time.
