Synopsis

A comedy that follows the last man on earth--Alan, a portly, graduate student who wanders a post-apocalyptic wasteland, documenting his thoughts for some race that may discover his remains posthumously. The Apocalypse takes on a whole new light when he meets Sarah, a beautiful young woman who doesn't like to be alone. They forge a survivor's bond. Then a friendship. Then a romance. Their slitary journey takes a dramatic U-turn with the appearance of a third wheel--the charming and handsome (though not too bright), Raphael. Alan begins to face the horrible reality that even with virtually no competition, there is always someone better. Then, he turns from Utopian ideals to low-down murder.
