In the near future, a devastating earthquake turns Southern California into a desert island populated by a small band of survivors. Green Beret Nick Preston (Dolph Lundgren) assumes command of the unpredictable characters and leads daily patrols into the desert to find civilization. While hes away, the other castaways find it impossible to stay out of trouble at the camp. What Preston and the others dont know is that a maximum security prison close by has been taken over by convicted murder Jesus(Juliano Mer), who was saved from the electric chair by the earthquake and now leads a violent gang of convicts bent on ruling the new world. Jesus men capture the lovely, if naïve, Candy (Rebecca Cross), and Preston and the others have to break inside the prison to save her and a school bus full of innocent children.
