a young man stands on a hill gazing at a house situated in the valley and reflects to himself that before death one's whole life flashes before one's eyes he remembers everything as if through a fog and he is glad about it because at this moment he wishes to forget his life then he brings a pistol to his head and pulls the trigger some time ago after a terrible pandemic Society fell into chaos the source of the infection remained unknown and scientists could not understand how the virus was transmitted Ethan and his girlfriend Emma flee the
city and try to reach a cabin by the lake all the while listening to the news on the radio and constantly fearing the appearance of symptoms suddenly an oncoming car blinds the guy he loses control and he regains Consciousness in an empty car on his hand is a cast with a red heart drawn on it all smeared with blood and Emma is nowhere to be seen the guy gets out and shouting Emma's name runs along the road soon he reaches a village but no one responds to his cries and everything around seems as if people
had long since abandoned this place suddenly a truck drives out onto the street and a man sitting in the cargo area takes the guy as his targ but then a bullet comes flying from the side a shootout ensues during which Ethan hides behind a wall soon both the driver and the shooter fall to the ground and a middle-aged woman approaches the guy who for some reason becomes upset upon realizing that she has shot one of them she starts the vehicle and orders Ethan to help her load the wounded into the cargo area Ethan grabs the
shooter's hand and suddenly loses Consciousness the guy regains Consciousness in the truck's cargo area and immediately remembers Emma but then he lapses into Oblivion again the next time he wakes up in a room and find finds the owner who introduces herself as May the guy confesses that he remembers nothing apparently he has Amnesia May promises to feed him and then shows him a bicycle that has been converted into a generator prompting Ethan to immediately recall the concept of kinetic energy which earns him the woman's praise then she explains that she together with her girlfriend went
to the cabin by the lake intending to wait out the Calamity there and she expresses strong hope that her girlfriend is already there waiting for him then he sees that an entire wall in May's cabin is filled with clippings from newspapers and magazines about the riots that swept the world after Mother Nature began to take revenge on her creations at that moment may advises him not to tell anyone about his amnesia for people are embittered they had been terrorized for years by deadly viruses and one at last did its job and some say that the
planet is striving to heal itself by eliminating the humanity that has become a nuisance suddenly the lights go out May asks the guy to stay put while she leaves but he follows her marveling at the yard where a small ruined Garden is scattered among old broken down cars suddenly he hears a strange sound and sees an incomprehensible creature as if enshrouded in a web he points at it in fear May waves her hand dismissively explaining that it's nothing more than Myrtle and it's not dangerous the woman tries to fix the generator but she can't manage
it then Ethan takes over and quickly restores electricity to the house but immediately he feels dizzy again he constantly remembers that he needs to search for Emma but may seems not to hear him Ethan wonders how she managed to survive here alone and he inquires about her husband but she evades giving any answers May advises Ethan not to wander around the house because every room has a trap to prove her Point she shows him her pistol which fires in Reverse so that whoever points it at her will inevitably kill themselves in the evening he pedals
on her bicycle generating energy while May rests by the fireplace sipping alcohol and listening to music later she suddenly suggests that the guy play cards even though Ethan is once again tempted to leave for the cabin by the lake as he had promised Emma he would find her but the hostess asks him to get a good night's sleep so that in the morning they can set out together in search he goes to his room gets dressed recalls how they had arranged to meet at the cabin by the lake with Emma and steps out into the
night Ethan starts the truck and sets off on his journey Shing away the visions that haunt him Emma weapons blood on his hands and some man who urges him to wake up and at one point he opens his eyes and finds himself near a sign pointing to the path to the lake then the guy continues on foot and soon finds his cabin however the doors are locked and he has to break a window to get inside suddenly an armed woman comes towards and in the corner a child is hiding Ethan promises not to touch her
as he is simply looking for his girlfriend but there was no sign of Emma but then outside heavy footsteps and some wooden creaking can be heard the woman rushes to close the doors and Ethan hurries to help together they try to slam the doors shut against the man Bush the woman loses her pistol Ethan picks it up and tries to shoot the monster but there are no bullets then he sees a hammer on the floor and with it he hurls the creature out the door after catching his breath he wonders why the creature is still
alive if he has shattered its skull however the woman cryptically replies that now there are more plants than people here so smashing its head doesn't work they need the same thing as everyone else food the woman and the child managed to calm down with difficulty she puts the young man to sleep and explains that a virus of plant origin has turned most people into hybrids of very strong and dangerous plants and zombies Ethan recounts the accident and Emma who worked as a doctor the woman admits that they have been in this cabin for about a
month and Emma hasn't shown up and Ethan again recalls how it all began when he found out that the virus was a plant origin he was not at all surprised social media dubbed the infected the reborn based on a popular theory that nature is cleansing itself of humanity everything was flooded with videos and photos of monsters and it seems that nothing could be undone beyond that he remembers nothing the woman offers the guy to sleep while she keeps watch and then she suddenly confesses that if she had bullets he would have been dead long ago
Ethan falls into a sleep full of nightmares and when he wakes up the cabin's doors are open and he himself lies face down in a puddle of blood in his memories he sees flashes of the woman her son and himself smeared with their blood he sees a green Sprout growing from the woman's ear and it darts outside on the shore of the lake a young girl is devouring some poor soul and Ethan initially mistakes her for Emma but when she prepares to attack him a shot rings out and may approaches Ethan explaining that the girl
was once human and with that shot she earned a little time after which may enters the cabin and shoots the remains of the mother and son at that moment Ethan notices a bird house and upon looking inside it finds Emma's phone where she recorded a video for him the crying girl explains that his memory lapses are becoming worse and increasingly chaotic she continues to lose him and is not sure she can go on like this the world has become completely different people are changing and if they lose each other he will be able to find
her and then the phone runs out of battery and Ethan never finds out what Emma wanted to tell him May leads him to the truck to take him home and he confesses that he remembers nothing so the pair get to know each other all over again the truck's battery turns out to be dead so they ride home by bicycle in along the way may confesses that her beloved is dead but she has a house and a garden and she also regrets that she didn't die the couple passes by people bushes standing here and there but
they only watch after them soon they reach the village where they once refueled the car Ethan recalls how he entered the building while outside a zombie attacked Emma he fired his gun then saving his beloved in the present he suddenly loses his balance and Falls May Waits until he regains Consciousness and once again calls out her name the pair continue on soon soon they arrive at a house but may immediately realizes that someone is in the garden and threatening with her weapon orders the stranger to come out the man pleads not to be shot he
is simply searching for his wife who disappeared from around here a few days ago at May's command he drops his pistol and asks if he might share some food the woman is willing to trade food for a load of firewood Tom and Ethan set about the task later May brings them lemonade and invites them to lunch but after a moment she asks Ethan not to eat afterwards Tom having eaten his fill finishes off a glass of wine and shows a photo of his wife who vanished 10 days ago suddenly before Ethan's eyes a vision of
the screaming woman from the photograph flashes by and may immediately tries to lead him into another room but Ethan Falls Tom promptly pulls out another pistol and takes the weapon from may he immediately realized that something was a Miss then he feels dizzy and in horror suspects that may has poisoned him but she merely sedated the adversary the man collapses Ethan comes to his senses as a couple of unknown individuals burst into the house and immediately lunge toward Tom May descends from the second floor and is grabbed in the ensuing struggle she drops a syringe
and says that it is insulin yet the attackers do not believe her by that time Tom has recovered and suggests searching the entire house for evidence that may killed his wife and possibly Ethan's girlfriend while Tom and Ethan rummage through May's room Tom's accomplice goes off to inspect the barn at that moment Ethan suddenly finds Emma's Medallion and Tom dumps a pile of various trinkets onto the table among which are his wife's beaded necklace Ethan prepares to shoot the woman when she confesses that Emma is indeed dead but she died very very long ago Ethan
recalls his Amnesia and asks her to explain how long he has been suffering from it this greatly intrigues Tom who points May's pistol at her meanwhile His companion knocks the lock off the Barn Door Tom then demands that may tell Ethan the truth otherwise he will do it himself the guy doesn't understand what truth Tom is referring to and suggests that Tom is unwell to this may cly replies that he is dead Ethan collapses and the Man in the barn discovers an operating room where people were being dismembered the frightened man runs out clinging to
a cable an explosion rings out and the barn catches fire before Ethan visions of the people he is killed flash by Tom then shoots May and a bullet from her weapon severs his wrist Ethan smelling blood pounces on him and devours him later May Comforts him for he will remember nothing the next morning it happens just as before Ethan and may meet again after which the woman takes him hunting and he suddenly recalls how he and Emma found this house they were met by the owner who showed them his armed daughter and agreed to let
them into the house only after they stripped down and proved they were uninfected later after having a bit of liquor he began expounding that people deserved the apocalypse for they had ruined their own Planet he urged the pair to believe in the Lord for people need morality he was convinced that these two had seen many terrible things but perhaps this virus is a reason to reflect a signal to awaken maybe it is so that people can return to Simplicity to Faith to the Earth to water afterwards he apologizes for his philosophizing and invites his guest
to the table now Ethan notices the heart drawn on his cast is in green marker though in his Visions it's red he points his pistol at May who admits she's out of red markers Ethan realizes his cast has changed many times but exactly how many he doesn't know may refuses to explain saying he needs to eat the body changes but when he eats the process stops and he is almost normal he recalls a gas station stop and realizes an old zombie bit him while Emma killed the attacker during his transformation Ethan removes the cast and
sees a wound overgrown with Greenery once more he flashes back Emma leads him to the bathroom while the homeowner's family prays she leaves him upstairs and goes to the living room where the owner confronts her with a weapon after realizing Ethan is infected while Emma feeds him with innocent people like his family at the same time the lady and her daughter go up to the second floor where Ethan attacks them while Emma wounds the owner with a kitchen knife and retrieving the pistol he dropped finishes the job later she sees Ethan devouring the owner's wife
and daughter but she can do nothing to change it in the present Ethan finally realizes that May is his Emma she has been feeding him for years because he needs fresh meat every day thanks to his Amnesia at first it wasn't so difficult he was like a source of Youth and everything was fine but weeks turned into years and one day he stopped recognizing her Ethan comes to see himself as a monster although May believes that he is the new reality while she herself is on the brink of Extinction she is broken and wants it
all to end then Ethan takes the pistol goes up the hill and fires a bullet into his Temple but a minute later he gets up and when may runs up to him he suddenly recognized his Emma in her and kisses her and she bites his lip instead of letting Ethan forget once more and continuing to lie she gives him the chance to turn her into his zombie so that together they can join the people bushes despite the film's plot being tied to the mass extinction caused by a terrible plant virus it turns out that at
its core the movie is a perverse Love Story the viewer involuntarily begins to Wonder Could I in order to sustain life or is it really life go that far
