The story begins with a sudden and widespread failure of electricity, plunging the entire world into darkness. This event marks the end of modern society as people knew it, forcing humanity to revert to pre-electricity ways of life. Society fractures and chaos ensues as nations and communities struggle to adapt to the new reality. The blackout’s cause is initially unknown, leaving many to speculate and worry about the stability of what remains of civilization.
Fifteen years have passed since that devastating event, during which the world has continued to struggle with the consequences. In this altered landscape, small settlements and isolated communities have formed, often relying on scavenged resources and traditional skills to survive. Despite ongoing hardships, some individuals remain hopeful about rebuilding and discovering the truth behind the blackout. Among them is a young woman whose life is unexpectedly upheaved by a violent act.
Her father, a man shrouded in mystery, is killed by a local militia during a raid. The young woman is devastated and confused, especially because she has little understanding of her father’s past or his connection to the blackout. As she grapples with her grief, rumors begin to circulate around her about her father’s involvement in the events that led to the electrical failure. Her loss and the mystery surrounding her father's death fuel her desire to uncover the truth at any cost.
During her journey, she joins forces with a diverse group of individuals who share her quest for answers. The group includes a former scientist, a wandering trader, and a seasoned survivor—all of whom have their own motives and secrets. Together, they embark on a daring and perilous expedition across dangerous territories, facing threats from hostile factions and environmental challenges.
The ultimate goal of their journey is to uncover the hidden history behind the blackout and her father’s mysterious activities. As they dig deeper into the past, they hope to find clues that could help restore society and prevent similar tragedies in the future. Their quest for truth becomes a symbol of resilience and hope, as they fight to reclaim not only their past but also a brighter future for humanity.
