Ellie and an injured Joel shelter in an abandoned house. As Joel approaches passing, he urges Ellie to leave him. She remembers her time in FEDRA military school, which she attended with her best friend Riley Abel. While Ellie causes trouble and fights with her peers, Riley ran away and went missing for three weeks. Riley sneaks back into their dorm room and reveals to Ellie she has joined the Fireflies. She brings Ellie to an abandoned mall, where they explore a photo booth, an arcade, and a carousel. Riley tells Ellie the Fireflies have assigned her to a post in Atlanta, and it is her last night in Boston. While Ellie is initially upset, she convinces Riley to stay. An infected attacks them and Ellie manages tohug it, but both are wounded. In the present, Ellie finds a sewing needle and begins to stitch up Joel's wound.
Set two decades after the implosion of our society, the drama will follow Joel, a tough survivor, who is hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl named Ellie out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse across the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.
