This Is What We Are Now

Melbourne, 2026. A catastrophic solar flare plunges the world into darkness. No power. No communication. No way back to the life they knew.

A group of strangers must navigate the ruins of a city they once called home — testing the limits of trust, morality, and what it means to remain human when everything else has collapsed.
