Set sometime after the events of ''Film/TheLateNightDoubleFeature'', an unnamed man returns to Earth from the colony on Alpha Centauri to find an Earth devastated by nuclear war. Forced into a world of danger and bloodshed after he saves a scientist and a gifted child from a horde of radiation-scarred mutants. Though he would prefer to stay hidden until he can escape to a new life, something about the child-and the murderous "Death Dealers" hunting her-makes him realize he has no choice but to protect her or risk being responsible for the potential extinction of the human race.
