A war is raging. We see gunshots rain down and Kurt’s friend Johnny is killed.
Kurt is now 35 years old. He has had the same nightmare every night since surviving the war.
He has suffered from PTSD and hears voices in his head. The voice tells him that it knows his name.
Outside, the landscape is bleak after a 30 day war that destroyed the world
he knew. Everything is chaotic. Two gang members rob a woman. Kurt
is standing right there powerless to help. A man named Noe stands on a box to address
those around him. He claims to see the truth and says that the end of life on Earth is night.
A crazy man amongst the crowd starts jumping around in support of Noe. He bumps into Kurt
and states, in surprise, that he came back. Kurt turns on his heel and leaves as Noe watches on.
In his house, Kurt is exercising wearing a gas mask. He starts to choke and gets up,
turning off the gas and making his way outside. Kurt takes the gas mask back to a shop. He
complains that it doesn't work, but it is explained that the government doesn’t
want military grade equipment, getting into the wrong hands.
Noe is there and tells the shopkeeper to give him a refund. Noe also gives
him a survival guide book that he wrote, but Kurt says that he needs equipment, not books.
Noe tells him that he believes that the end of the world is coming and he wants to
survive - together with the best of mankind. He invites Kurt to his survivalist meeting
but Kurt says that he will pass. Noe gives him the gas mask and tells
him that it can be repaired - he shouldn’t let a flimsy bit of rubber defeat him.
As Kurt leaves, Noe tells him to study the book. The gang members enter the shop as Kurt leaves,
and outside he encounters other members of the gang who label
him another “survivor”. They start to beat him. Inside the shop, the men steal the money from the
till and take Noe outside where he sees Kurt. As the gang leaves, they tell Noe that they will be
back tomorrow for money, or things will be worse. Kurt is inside hallucinating and drinking
Vodka. The news reports severe weather hitting the East Coast.
He puts on some headphones to cut out the noise, but suddenly notices Noe on the TV.
He removes the headphones and listens to Noe saying, that an apocalyptical level
storm will come soon that will destroy life on Earth in the blink of an eye.
Kurt realizes he needs more supplies and so will need to get
a job. He approaches a security company. Outside, a kid seems to recognize him.
He says that his best friend told him that he was some kind of a mad soldier. The kid
tells him that his friend's name is Johnny. Johnny told him that Kurt was dead and is a
ghost - but he doesn’t believe in ghosts. The kid turns around and leaves.
Kurt is waiting for an interview. A lady named Jessica offers him ice for his eye, before taking
him to be interviewed by her father - Antonio. He seems happy to employ a combat veteran.
That night Kurt is having nightmares about the war. He wakes and sits there rocking to
and fro holding a gun. He has had the same dream for 15 years now.
Kurt can hear a noise and holding a pistol, he goes to investigate.
He shoots at a man in the kitchen. It has no effect and the man identifies
himself as Johnny. Kurt says that this is impossible but they hug nevertheless.
Kurt sits in silence as Johnny chats away. He asks what has happened. After Johnny died,
Kurt took out an entire battalion single handedly. Kurt asks how Johnny is there as he shoots him.
Johnny asks Kurt to stop crying, and get out there and have some fun. Johnny then gets up and leaves,
but before he can go, Kurt asks if he was talking to some little kid about him.
Kurt starts his new job. He is exploring the building and finds a door that is not
on the blueprints. He is approached by a guy in charge named Gomez, who tells him
that it is not his concern and to move on. At night, Kurt puts some food down for a
homeless guy. A neighbor comes up to him and yells at him for feeding vagrants.
He doesn’t want them in his neighborhood. Kurt ignores the man as he sees the kid
standing behind him. He runs off to find the kid as lightning crashes behind him.
Kurt reads Noe’s book. It advises that they build shelter and gather food,
arm themselves, disappear from society, and get rid of all the material goods that are
not necessary. This is the only way they will be strong enough to endure the apocalypse.
In the office, Kurt checks for a report on the coming end of the world. Jessica
asks if he believes in this stuff - just as there is a power cut.
Jessica and Kurt are looking out the window together and sharing a moment. As they look down,
they see Gomez speaking with a gang member. Jessica warns Kurt to be careful with Gomez.
Antonio interrupts them and asks why Kurt hasn’t switched on the generator yet. As Jessica leaves,
Antonio warns Kurt away from his daughter. On the way home, Kurt is attacked by two
gang members. This time he fights back and manages to scare them away.
Kurt decides to attend Noe’s meeting. He is surprised to meet Jessica outside.
She says that she was looking for him. Noe states that they can only survive
through preparation. They must remain lucid and be prepared for the worst of humanity.
Kurt goes back to see the homeless man again and this time fights with the neighbor.
Kurt continues to prepare his bunker. Johnny appears and Kurt tells him
that he is preparing for the apocalypse. Johnny tells him that this is stupid - he
is destroying the house that he grew up in. Johnny encourages him to have a drink
but Kurt finally pours the vodka down the sink. Kurt asks him about the kid, but Johnny doesn’t
know what he’s talking about. As Kurt continues to work,
there is a knock at the door. It’s Jessica, so Kurt hurries to cover things up. He tells
Johnny to leave as he opens the door. Jessica asks where Kurt has been.
Apparently money has gone missing and Gomez mentioned Kurt’s name. She asks what he is
doing here - building a fortress? He swears that he didn’t take the
money and they start to kiss. Afterwards he reveals to her his secret bunker. She
wants to join him when the time comes, but he asks her not to tell anyone about it.
Outside, Gomez has tracked them down. When Jessica leaves, they try to break into Kurt’s
house but he has had the entrances reinforced. Gomex calls out demanding the return of the money.
He threatens to do something terrible to Jessica. Unknown to him, Kurt records his threats.
Inside, Johnny is telling Kurt that he told him so, while he prepares to go outside.
That night, Noe and his flock are planning to go on a pilgrimage to the mountains.
The gang arrives and Noe asks what they want. As they start to torture the people,
the lights are suddenly switched off. The gang goes to investigate, and Kurt
shoots some of them down. Kurt is terrified at how easy he found it to kill again.
That night there is a huge storm across the whole planet and Kurt hides out in his bunker.
As he comes back up, there is a banging at the door. Jessica is outside but it is a trap.
Gomez forces his way inside. As Kurt lays on the floor he can see the kid telling him to be brave.
Some time later, Kurt wakes in an asylum - it is where people are put to be forgotten.
The doctor speaks with him, and tells him that his house was searched
and the police found his shelter. His association with Noe is known.
It turns out that Noe has been previously convicted of fraud.
Kurt is sick and has been fooled by a con man. There is no evidence to suggest that
the planet is on the verge of a cataclysm. The doctor asks if he is experiencing any
hallucinations. As Kurt looks up he sees Johnny behind him. Kurt laughs
and the doctor seems confused. Antonio and Gomez are watching
behind a mirror as Kurt says nothing. Noe comes to visit Kurt- somewhat in disguise.
Kurt is angry that he was fooled, but Noe tells him that the people he killed, are powerful people
that collect money for the government. Now they think Noe is as guilty as Kurt,
who they believe stole money. Kurt protests his innocence and accuses
Noe of conning many people in the past. Noe tells him that he has changed since
his conviction, and that Kurt needs to believe him, as the storms will resume,
and he is destined for greater things. Kurt saved their lives and cannot give
in now. Noe tells him that Kurt is his hero, and he will get him out.
Some time later, the gang comes to visit Kurt, and they try to beat him in his cell.
Another inmate enters the cell and attacks the gang members. Kurt escapes and on the way out,
is handed a bag that has been left from Noe. Back at home, Kurt realizes that although
they found and ransacked his shelter, they didn’t find the bunker beneath.
Gomez receives a call that Kurt has escaped. He orders a security detail
for Jessica to keep Kurt away from her. In the bunker, Johnny tries to convince
him to abandon Jessica. Kurt apologizes and says goodbye to him.
The storms begin and Kurt heads out to find Jessica.
He meets the kid who tells him that Kurt’s father waited for him to come home from war.
He must be brave - his Daddy told him that. Kurt walks into the office and after shooting
some henchmen, he tells Antonio that he loves his daughter and demands to know where she is.
Gomez enters and points a gun at Kurt. Kurt tells Antonio that he is not a thief,
and plays a recording he made of Gomez threatening Jessica.
Antonio stands and points his gun at Gomez, as Gomez makes his excuses.
Suddenly Gomez shoots at Kurt, then he shoots Antonio. Kurt is only injured and shoots Gomez.
As Antonio dies he begs Kurt to find his daughter. Kurt leaves and struggles through the storm
to make his way back to the bunker. Inside he finds Jessica has also made her
way there. She breaks down and they hug. Some time later, Jessica is pregnant.
Suddenly the phone rings - it is Noe. If you want to watch more on Movie Shortens,
