Summary of the story
The impact of an asteroid on a collision course with Earth results in the release of radioactive fallout, leading to the mutation of cold-blooded creatures into monstrous beings that decimate the human population. Amidst the evacuation of Fairfield, Joel Dawson becomes separated from his girlfriend, Aimee, but vows to locate her. Tragically, Joel's parents fall victim to the monsters before his eyes.
Seven years later, Joel resides in one of the subterranean bunkers known as "colonies," where the remaining survivors have paired off romantically while battling the monsters and scavenging for resources. Joel, however, is relegated to kitchen duty, as he freezes in perilous situations. When a colossal ant breaches the colony, killing one of the inhabitants, Joel embarks on a mission to reunite with Aimee, determined not to be left alone.
While traversing the suburbs, Joel is attacked by a gargantuan toad-like creature but is rescued by a stray dog named "Boy," who accompanies him on his journey, warning him of poisonous berries and other hazards. Joel falls into a nest of worm-like monsters called "Sand-Gobblers," but is rescued by two survivors, Clyde Dutton and Minnow. They are en route to the mountains, where the frigid climate and higher altitude make it less hospitable for monsters. They impart some rudimentary survival skills to Joel and reveal that not all monsters are hostile, as evidenced by their eyes. Although they invite Joel to join them, he insists on finding Aimee. As they part ways, Clyde gives Joel a grenade.
