The story revolves around a diverse group that includes a teacher, a nurse, a woman of faith, and various personalities that reflect the range of human emotions and conflicts in the face of adversity. Trapped in a small and dilapidated settlement, they are forced to come together to survive and defend what is theirs.
As the days pass and the threat intensifies, these women, who would normally not share much with each other, must learn to collaborate and find strength in their differences.
