Ray Ferrier is a divorced dockworker and less-than-perfect father. Soon after his ex-wife and her new husband drop off his teenage son and young daughter for a rare weekend visit, a strange and powerful lightning storm touches down.
When massive tripod machines erupt from beneath the soil, an ordinary father must navigate a collapsing civilization to keep his children alive. This relentless chase through urban wreckage turns a suburban nightmare into a frantic struggle for survival.
