In the shadow of the EMP that changed the world, Dr. Julie Walters, and her brother, Ron and the rest of the Crain family were doing what they could to restore the small community of Sandbar, Washington to a degree of normalcy. Having prepared for some form of disaster most of his life, Harvey Crain, their father, was ready to help and protect his family and his community any way he could.
