The document describes Sophia, an 18-year-old girl surviving alone in the wilderness. She hunts a rat for food and builds a fire. In the night, she sees a man, Jason, approaching and threatens him with a weapon. Jason offers a radio that can find other survivors, so Sophia agrees to let him live. They travel together and bond over time. However, they find an abandoned car containing a decaying body, implying Jason has been infected. He asks Sophia to kill him before he turns, which leaves her distraught but determined to survive on her own.

1. 1. EXT. WILDERNESS - DAY
A desolate wilderness - miles and miles of rugged countryside
and woodland.
Grey clouds fill the sky with an imminent threat of rain.
DISSOLVE TO:
2. EXT. FIELD - DAY
SOPHIA stands in an open field. She is roughly eighteen years
of age, and dressed in military-looking fatigues. Her hair is
tied back away from her mudded face. She carries a rucksack.
She leans upon a MAKESHIFT WEAPON - a knife attached to a
tree branch secured with a bootlace.
In one hand she holds a FRAGMENT OF A MAP, and in the other a
COMPASS. The needle remains static - suggesting that the
object no longer serves a purpose.
She clearly has no sense of where she is - frustration
registers on her face.
CUT TO:
3. EXT. EDGE OF WOODLAND - DAY
Sophia crouches behind a tree, her face touching the mossy,
yet dry bark. She's hunting for food.
A RAT comes into view.
She grips her makeshift weapon. Her eyes fixated on the
creature.
She propels the weapon.
CUT TO:
4. MONTAGE SEQUENCE
1. The DEAD RAT is strapped to SOPHIA's hip, swaying as she
walks.
2. SOPHIA gathers firewood.
3. SOPHIA arrange the pieces of wood.
4. SOPHIA rubs two sticks together - smoke occurs.
5. SOPHIA fuels the fire with more wood and dried grass.
6. SOPHIA prepares her meal.
CUT TO:

2. 5. EXT. SOPHIA'S CAMP, WOODLAND - EVENING
The fire CRACKLES.
It's warm glow reflects on Sophia's cheeks and nose as she
roasts the rat on the end of a stick, turning it slowing,
concentrating on not burning the flesh.
Her eyes widen and her mouth waters as she breathes in the
smell of the cooked meat and burning wood.
CUT TO:
6. EXT. SOPHIA'S CAMP, WOODLAND - LATER
A COIL OF SMOKE rises above the trees.
SOPHIA tears at the cooked meat. Fat drips down her chin. A
satisfying expression spreads across her face as she eats.
Something stirs within her - an animal instinct. Someone or
something is out there watching her.
She FREEZES, an then wipes her chin and places her food near
the fire.
She picks up the weapon situated next to her.
Standing slowly, SOPHIA sans the spaces between trees,
squinting as she focuses. A concentrated expression on her
face.
A FIGURE becomes visible in the distance moving through the
trees.
SOPHIA S eyes widen, this time with shock and confusion.
A MAN (JASON) appears to be following the trail of smoke. He
is in his mid-twenties and also dressed in miliatry fatigues,
similar to SOPHIA S.
SOPHIA watches him intently as he gets closer.
She stamp outs the fire with her mud caked boots.
She grabs her rucksack and other belongings, and camouflages
herself amongst the trees.
CUT TO:
7. EXT. WOODLAND - DAY
SOPHIA moves amongst the tree, one hand gripping on to the
weapon and the other grips the dry, coarse bark.
She stares at JASON - as he comes into view, crouches and
examines the recently put-out fire.
SOPHIA moves to the next tree.
JASON, alert to the movement, stands and looks round.

3. JASON
(calls)
Hello!
SOPHIA edges towards him, weapon in hand. His back turned to
her.
SOPHIA pushes the knife into his back.
SOPHIA
(Aggressively)
Who are you?
She grips the weapon tightly.
JASON
(Panicked)
Woah, woah! Hold on. I'm clean. I'm
no threat.
SOPHIA holds the weapon steady.
SOPHIA
Turn around!
He does so. Their eyes meet. He is not unattractive.
She breaks contact, and thrusts the knife at the centre of
his chest
SOPHIA
Turn out your weapons!
JASON taps the pockets of his dark green jacket.
JASON
I'm unarmed, I swear.
SOPHIA looks him up and down. Her eyes glaze.
SOPHIA
Why shouldn't I should kill you? I
would be able to have more clothes.
I could keep warmer at night.
JASON looks at her with a hurt expression.
JASON
Because I have this.
He moves his arm and reaches in to the inner pocket of his
jacket. He pulls out a small RADIO. He turns it on, and
starts to tune it. HUMAN VOICES emerge from the static.
SOPHIA snatches the radio and places it to her ear.
The sound of MUFFLED VOICES spreads a smile (of relief)
across her face.
JASON
The battery's running low.
SOPHIA looks him up and down. He is at her mercy. She has to
make a decision.

4. JASON
There's a meeting point. Not far
from here. If you kill me, you'll
never find it.
SOPHIA resumes eye contact. They hold the moment. Gradually,
she lowers the knife.
SOPHIA
Fine!
Jason emits an enormous sight of relief.
JASON
Thank you! I'm Jason, by the way.
He holds out his hand. Sophia ignores the gesture.
SOPHIA
It's dark. We leave in the morning.
8. EXT. SOPHIA S CAMPSITE - NIGHT
Sound of WILDLIFE and the CRACKLE of a fire.
SOPHIA S eyes water somewhat from the smoke of the fire. She
huddles closer for warmth.
JASON stares into the fire with a look of fatigue.
JASON
I followed your smoke trail. You
should be more careful.
SOPHIA scowls, she doesn't like criticism.
JASON coughs. SOPHIA looks alarmed.
JASON
It's OK. It's not what you think.
SOPHIA is not wholly convinced.
SOPHIA
You sleep now.
She points to the other side of the fire.
SOPHIA
Over there!
JASON
OK!
He moves to the other side of the fire, lies down and rolls
over. He pulls the hood of his jacket over his head and
sniffing as he settles.
SOPHIA doesn't take her eyes off him.
9. EXT. CAMPSITE - LATER

5. JASON sleeps.
SOPHIA watches the light from the fire reflect off his back.
She looks at him and then into the fire. Its orange flames
reflecting in her eyes.
She moves closer to him, concentrating on the movement of his
breathing. She listens, paying attention to any inclination
of a respiratory problem. There is a slight raspiness to his
breathing, but nothing to duly alarm her.
She strokes the back of his neck softly - a rare moment of
contact. She appears almost peaceful, strangely contented by
the presence of another human being.
The CALL OF A NIGHT BIRD breaks the moment.
JASON shuffles...
...SOPHIA freezes momentarily...
...But Jason does not wake.
SOPHIA withdraws.
She picks up her weapon, hangs her head between her knees,
and closes her eyes.
CUT TO:
10. EXT. CAMPSITE - MORNING
Grey skies threaten rain.
SOPHIA studies the fragment of map.
JASON stamps the remains of the fire out, and then moves
across to SOPHIA. She allows him to get close and point to an
imaginary spot on a missing section of the map. He can sense
a difference in her this morning.
JASON
(emboldened)
Good job I memorised the
directions.
She eyes him sceptically.
SOPHIA
So…what exactly is at this meeting
point?
JASON
Transport. (beat) To a place that's
not contaminated.
He starts to move off.
JASON
Come on!

6. She hesitates.
SOPHIA
How can you be so sure?
He disappears amongst the trees.
JASON
(O.S. calls)
It may only be there for a short
time.
11. MONTAGE
1. SOPHIA and JASON move across open terrain. She is edgy,
keeping her distance - he quickens the pace.
JASON
Aren't you going to tell me your
name?
She ignores this.
2. SOPHIA and JASON fill water bottles at a stream.
She splashes water across her face. He watches her, then
splashes her. She retaliates. A water fight ensues. They
laugh and lose themselves in the activity.
3. SOPHIA and JASON follow a deserted road. They dry off in
the evening sunlight.
She walks alongside him now.
SOPHIA
My name's Sophia.
He smiles, then offers her his hand.
JASON
(mock formal)
Pleased to meet you, Sophia.
She smiles, and shakes his hand on this occasion. They laugh
- enjoying each other's company.
CUT TO:
12. EXT. DIRT TRACK - EVENING
A dirt track fringed by fields.
JASON surveys the scene.
JASON
By my reckoning we should be close.
SOPHIA looks towards some trees in the distance, listening
for the sound of a car. There is nothing.
SOPHIA
You d better be right.

7. She starts to have doubts again.
SOPHIA
Can you get a signal on the radio?
He takes out the radio, and attempts to get a signal but it's
dead.
JASON
Battery's gone.
SOPHIA
Great! Now what?
CUT TO:
13. EXT. DIRT TRACK - DUSK
JASON trudges in front, SOPHIA lags behind.
He sees something up ahead, and quickens his pace.
A CAR is visible. It appears abandoned. Dust clings to the
paint, and the windows are caked with mud and grime.
JASON approaches.
JASON
Told you to have faith.
SOPHIA holds back.
SOPHIA
Something isn't right.
JASON rubs a tiny patch from a side window, and peers inside.
JASON
I think that the keys are still in
the ignition.
He pulls on the door handle.
SOPHIA looks around, agitated. She grasps her weapon.
SOPHIA
Jason!
The door springs open depositing a DECAYING BODY onto JASON,
splattering him with a jet of MUCUS-LIKE substance.
JASON
(stunned)
Shit!
SOPHIA looks on horrified. They both know exactly what this
means.
He disentagles himself from the body, and then slowly edges
towards her.
JASON

8. Sophia!
She raises the weapon, pointing it at him.
He stops - a few feet away from her.
JASON
You know what you have to do?
She can't quite believe what he is asking.
JASON
(implores)
Please!
She freezes. She wants to cry, but she's too hardened to do
so.
JASON
Be strong!
SOPHIA raises the weapon.
BLACK.
14. WILDERNESS - DAY
SOPHIA strides across open fields.
FADE OUT.
