A meteor crashes to earth. It contains a life that eats electricity as its food and is called the Green Ghost. Soon it covers the U.S. essentially causing our society to cease as we know it. The effect causes total anarchy over the U.S.
An Army unit of men who were originally tasked to destroy drug cartel storage places, are given the duty to fight the Green Ghost. Scientists tell them that maybe a meteorite may be melted and act as a cover against the Ghost. They acquire horses and travel across the U.S. to Chicago to melt a meteorite. This is their story, fighting, total loss of civilization, and the total absence of fire departments and law enforcement.
