Line 6:
She awakes to a [[Apocalypse How|cold, barren world]], in what appears to be a make-shift graveyard. After exploring the desert, she falls victim to a sinkhole, and matters turn worse when she is captured by some local [[Cannibal Clan|cannibalistic mutants]]. Fortunately, [[Crazy Survivalist|Stover]] ([[Bruce Campbell]]) arrives on the scene and rescues her. Stover takes Judy home to his shack in the wilderness, where Judy is initially reluctant to learn the ways of surviving the wasteland. She warms up to the idea after time, but just as she is starting to get adjusted to the outside world, the crazy cannibals break into their home and drag them underground once more.
 
Stover and Judy are separated and put to work. Meanwhile, they each learn more about the underground mutant society, but they both plot ways to escape back to the surface. They learn that the mutants may not be as brainless as they originally thought, and they are led by a mysterious, eloquent leader. The mutants may be brutal and bloody, but they may be the last vestige of civilization left on the planet outside of Inworld. The leader offers Judy a chance to join his civilization, and gives her the choice to help him rebuild society. From [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|his point of view]], [[Utopia Justifies the Means|his methods]] are the only way to bring humanity back to its former glory. It is up to Judy whether she should join the leader in his machinations, or chance an escape with Stover and hope to return to her home in Inworld.
