Through suffering from PTSD, losses, taking responsibilities and making choices he is not ready for, he will lead his people across the whole post-apocalyptic Ukraine, join rescue missions, full-scale wars and ignite a coup d'etat, which will be the worst catastrophe of his life and, most importantly, fight to protect the love of his life: a girl named Nastya, who lost everyone but him. Apart from fighting for lifes of himself and his loved ones, he will set up a survivor community within an old port of Ochakiv and even play a little rock gig before the new world strikes again.
