Tally is one of the patients living at a private hospital's psychiatric ward after the apocalypse. Along with another survivor, Count, she goes searching for supplies. They encounter a nurse, Mary, on crutches in a medical clinic while looking for medications.
Mary joins them, and they use a scavenged ute to carry more supplies. An earthquake has them fleeing home with a narrow escape. Tally checks on the rest of the survivors before gathering them around for tea time.
