The play is produced by HBO and is adapted from the PlayStation platform game of the same name launched by Naughty Dog on June 14, 2013.

It tells the story of twenty years after the destruction of modern civilization. Humanity is facing a crisis of extinction due to modern infectious diseases. The surviving humans are killing each other in order to survive.

In order to fulfill the request of Marlene, the leader of the “Firefly” organization, Joel, a middle-aged male smuggler, took the 14-year-old girl Ellie out of the epidemic isolation area protected by the army and traveled through the metropolis that was turned into a ruined jungle.

Faced with the threat of virus-infected mutant humans and other groups of survivors, they embarked on a profound journey that changed their lives.
