House mice struggle through a long, strange winter. Humans are gone, the sun rarely appears, and cold, dark rain taints everything.

The mice, once reliant on humans for food, continue to loot nearby abandoned houses for scraps. Food used to be plentiful, but now scavengers return empty-handed or not at all.

Food is scarce and danger is everywhere. Poison and traps lurk in dark cupboards, while feral cats relentlessly chase the mice when they leave their nest. Rumors of a hawk joining the hunt add to their fears.

As supplies dwindle and illness spreads, desperation grows. With the colony at a breaking point, hope arises from rumors of a wrecked truck filled with food far beyond the forest, where even the cats won’t go.
