Everything to know about the original book series
The plot is based on Black Autumn, a book written by Jeff Kirkham and Jason Ross. This mocie is book one of a ten-book series.
In the first book, an already weak US economy crumbles after a rogue nation detonates a small nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. The effect leads a group of people, including Special Forces veterans, their families, and friends to live in a homestead.
It is a tale of survival, fortitude, and making several challenging decisions to create a new world in a fortress in the Rocky Mountains. As political, economic, and law enforcement systems collapse, the protagonists must find ways to re-invent civilization.
The movie only tackles the first book of these post-apocalyptic stories, with the subsequent series likely delving deep into the themes of survival and re-invention.
Plot summary
The movie begins with the bomb going off, the power grid and the Internet going down. As anarchy ensues, a group of Special Forces and their family make their way to a 300-acre farmhouse run by a billionaire who has prepared for such a catastrophic outcome. He has stockpiled supplies and ammunition and installed solar panels to ensure the farm is self-sustaining.
However, the residents of this homestead must learn how to survive, work together, and protect one another in the face of difficult decisions. They must choose who to let in and who to keep out as resources run scarce.
The official synopsis of the movie reads:
"A nuclear bomb is detonated in Los Angeles, and the nation devolves into unprecedented chaos. Ex-Green Beret Jeff Eriksson and his family escape to The Homestead, an eccentric prepper's fortress nestled in the mountains. As violent threats and apocalyptic conditions creep toward their borders, the residents of The Homestead are left to wonder: how long can a group of people resist both the dangers of human nature and the bloodshed at their doorstep?"
