Leo, Leah, and Samuel along with their friends Bruce and Sheryl Collins continue traveling south. They have reached the northern part of Nevada. They are running low on fuel and it is a very barren area which is very rocky and cold in late October.
Leo sees ahead with his scope a man on a telephone pole. The man is a skinny and is wearing a plaid shirt and has a tool belt. Someone has knocked over the ladder he used to climb up the pole. Leo helps him get down and the man (Geoffrey) tells them about the data center his friend Michael run and promises them gas for helping him. The data center is about 6 miles from their location.
The data center is a partially underground warehouse with solar panels on the roof. Geoffrey goes around to return the ladder on his quad bike. They go through the security doors to meet Michael who is at the reception desk. They also see 2 men who seem to have gone mad, who Michael and Geoffrey hire for security. Michael is watching many sets of monitors, and locks them before they can see the screens.
Michael takes them down past the servers to the generator room. The lights are dimly lit and they see a tunnel. Geoffrey explains that there is an Aquifer under the building which is the only source of clean water around. They have the security mainly to protect the water, and that theirs is the only data center running. They hire locals for security as well as to obtain gas for the generator.
While Samuel and Leo take gas back to the truck, Michael and Leah go down to get water from the Aquifer. He knocks a special rhymthm on the door and it opens. Once inside Leah sees 40-60 women locked in a large inset cage with a dozen men guarding them. The women seem calm but not cared for. Michael gets Leah a bunch of 2L of water to take back. However, then two men try to wrestle her.
Meanwhile in the generator room, Leo and Samuel are met with the two deranged men from before who go after them. Samuel finds that Ashley is in town and after Geoffrey asks weird questions about Leah, he makes a run for the tunnel. Samuel fights of the two men, and takes down Geoffrey who tries to convince him to take the water and gas and leave Leah.Geoffrey fails to stun Leo, but fails. Leo goes toward the tunnel.
Leah fights her way away from the two men, and hears Samuel banging on the door. She cuts the guard pretty badly after getting stunned a little, but manages to open the door. Samuel stuns the drugged men with his accordion music when Leo comes and takes out the two men with his shotgun.
Samuel goes to check out the panel but the women freak out so Leah goes to talk to him. Guards have managed to attack Samuel while Michael tries to get to the control panel. The women explain that they have to stop Michael so Leo shoots Michael and then Samuel manages to fight of the guards and tackle Michael to the ground.
Leah cuts the throats of a bunch of guards, and Leo shoots a bunch of them, getting winded and pretty beaten up in the process. They managed to take out all the guards and free the women when Samuel runs off.
Samuel is reunited with Ashley who has been trapped in the cage with the women. They happily reunite and sing and perform while Leah tends to the women and helps them scavenge the place for water and food. She finds 200 lbs of drugs which appear to the cause of the madness in the men, and what was rigged to be dumped into the water supply if Michael pulled the switch.
Leo seeing the truck shot up, glass broken and dead bodies around the truck runs to check on his friend. Leo finds Bruce with a very severe Axe injury having used all 6 of his shots of fend of many of the raiders expertly. His wife, Sheryl is fine but a little shocked to see her husband so badly injured. Leo tries to patch him up and calls for Leah who gets him stable and read to move.
The women explain that they gave themselves to be held in exchange for food and water for their families, some were captured by the raiders as well. They are thankful to be saved, and many go back to their homes. Ashley takes Michael's quad bike, they take all the gas and lots of water and drive off.
