On the last day of Earth, Griffin and Sabrina's decision to run a marathon sparks an unexpected movement, drawing 100,000 participants to join them in Austin, TX. This event contrasts the beauty of human connection with the chaos of impending doom. As they run, Dr. Jimmy Spangle, a psychiatrist driven by rage, seeks to eliminate them, while Tank Miller, the local police chief, steps in to protect the runners. The race becomes a battleground, broadcasted live, manipulated by a sociopathic TV anchor and her host, capturing the world's attention in a dramatic finale.
