These house guests, however, neither know Max nor each other. The promise of living forever amidst the ruins of an empty world may be fraught with unexpected pitfalls. Nevertheless, they're trapped in such a nice house, in a lovely place, with delightful company. What better place could there be to spend a post-apocalyptic eternity? Right?
