She works for a non-profit by day and clips coupons by night. The time in between is spent doing homework with her son. She wants a stable and secure life for him, but she needs a new start for herself. That won't come easy, though. Julie is recently divorced, financially stressed, and still reeling from a violent attack in her past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe is determined to make it on her own, however. She learns self-defense skills and enrolls in a women's-only firearms class. That's where she meets a like-minded woman who helps take her skills to the next level.

She will become self-reliant-and never be a victim again.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe urgency of her efforts takes on new importance as society begins unraveling around her. America is divided. Conservatives and liberals are at war. Then the newly elected president cuts funding to so-called Sanctuary States, including her home state of Oregon. Julie loses her job. Everyone who lives off the government gets desperate. Riots. Crime. Fire.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJulie needs to flee to the safety of her family cabin in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
