David drives a municipal water truck with an armed guard. He delivers water to hospitals and government facilities, but he has pilfered one container of water for his own family. He’s on his way to deliver to a refugee-like settlement at a power plant, but suddenly he sees a young girl standing on the road in front of him, forcing him to stop.

Pete, the manager of the power plant, loves his job. After the Tap-Out, he let his employees bring their families to the plant for refuge even though his bosses wouldn’t approve. Since the power plant is a critical facility, it received regular water deliveries. On this day, however, an angry mob waits outside the gate. When the delivery truck arrives, the mob tears the driver and guard from the truck before breaking into the plant.
