His prepping lifestyle and following the news online is his only other hobby, other than church activities. George s son is the teenager responsible for causing the accident that killed Brian s wife. Every interaction with the power hungry father drives him insane. To make matters worse, George s son has been trespassing and gets injured on Brian s property causing him to build bigger and taller fences. The neighbors that once shunned Brian Cartwright now need him like never before. America has been attacked with an EMP and they find themselves requiring the help of the widowed farmer the same time he realizes he needs them as well. When things get dicey, can they mend the wall, or do good fences make good neighbors?
