After his project malfunctions, he discovers that he may be the last man on Earth. As he searches empty cities for other survivors, Zac’s mental state begins to deteriorate – until he comes upon a situation that might result in his own disappearance…

Loosely based on Craig Harrison’s novel of the same name, Film Movement’s Blu-ray and DVD incarnations include a commentary by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Director of the Hayden Planetarium of the Natural History Museum in New York, along with film critic Odie Henderson. Also included is a collector’s booklet with stills and credit details, as well as a newly-commissioned essay by Teresa Heffernan, author of Post-Apocalyptic Culture: Modernism, Postmodernism, and the Twentieth-Century Novel.
