Treatment

13 days
   The film opens in a kitchen; there is a heavy atmosphere in the room. The camera looks up at the ceiling, slowly moving down to the small group of survivors. They are gathering supplies. The camera cuts to a panoramic view from the window. The group gathers what they need and sits in a dark room.  The room has little decoration with white walls; two sofas and TV. The group consider their next move, where to go; what to do.   There is silence for a moment as one of the group stands to leave. Thirteen days after the world ended there is still power, but there is fear and hate, no one trusts anyone else. The group is made up of three friends around the same age, all dressed in basic clothes.

Survivors take shelter  at the end of a long day.

   There is a loud bump from another room; two of the survivors investigate a survivor. The survivors get to know each other sharing supplies and food. While sharing stories of the end of the world of the bombs and the fallout they hear more noise from another room. A man stands at the end of the hallway with wild, hungry eyes, his hands are covered in blood, the small group determines the man dangerous and probably insane or worse a cannibal. The group are forced to leave quickly and quietly, taking the stairs to the outside world.
   The group makes their way south, as far south as they can get. Days turn into week and they find themselves nearing a city, Bristol.  They arive at a house on the outskirts of the city, it looks like it was abandoned long before all "this" happened.
