In the sequel to Resurrection, as Parker, Annie, Kyle and Hughes begin their journey across a shattered and empty continent, Parker spins into a psychological abyss of post-traumatic stress, and the feud between him and Kyle hurtles toward a dangerous tipping point.

All across America, communities large and small are losing control of their economies to outside interests. Going Local shows how some cities and towns are fighting back.
