The year is 2020 and after a deadly virus has swept the planet, only one man is left on earth, Phil Miller.

Phil used to be just an average guy who loved his family and hated his job but now he is searching the country for other survivors.

Phil has travelled to every city, every town and every outpost in the United States, Mexico and Canada but has found no one. As he returns to his hometown of Tucson, Phil comes to the realisation that he is
almost certainly the last living being on the face of the earth.

“Don’t Wanna Die Anonymous”
Johnny Rock’s once-promising career as a rock star has hit rock bottom.

His manager is ready to drop him and he is willing to join a Bryan Adams tribute band as a source of income.

Johnny’s self-esteem plummets further when, at a sold-out Afghan Whigs reunion show, he hits on a young girl who turns out to be his unknown illegitimate daughter, Gigi. Gigi wants Johnny to help make her famous by writing songs for her.

At Gigi’s request, Johnny tries to get his old band back together as a backing band for her demo tape.
