In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a devastating plague, Robert Neville, a brilliant scientist and seemingly the last human survivor, navigates the desolate streets of New York City. By day, he scavenges for supplies and searches for a cure, accompanied only by his loyal dog, while by night, he barricades himself against the mutated, light-sensitive creatures that now dominate the earth. Driven by a relentless will to survive and a flicker of hope for humanity’s future, Neville grapples with isolation, loss, and the haunting question of whether he truly is alone—or if others like him might still exist in the shadows of this shattered world.
