Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.\u003cbr\u003eAmanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.\u003cbr\u003eShould Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa?
