Parents' Guide to American Refugee

In AMERICAN REFUGEE, America's financial institutions are beginning to go under, causing the entire economy to collapse. This leads to food shortages and rioting in the cities, and Greg (Derek Luke) and Helen Taylor (Erika Alexander), who own a home in the countryside as they raise their two kids, are trying to decide what their next move should be. While at the grocery store trying to find the last food still in stock, Helen, an obstetrician, meets Amber, a pregnant woman who is starting to panic because she can't get the medicine she needs. Helen helps her, and tells Amber to contact her if she needs anymore help. After Greg returns from the city after trying to rescue their friend Brooke from the rioting and looting, an armed teenage boy demands that Helen accompany him. Greg goes with her, and they are taken to their next-door neighbors' place, which is a bunker set up by a survivalist named Winter where his wife Amber is in pain due to her pregnancy. Helen helps her once again, but when Greg and Helen return, that night, looters break into their house and the family must escape or be killed. Desperate for a place to stay, they return to Winter and Amber's bunker. They soon learn that Winter's "survival of the fittest" mentality creates almost as much tension as what's happening to the outside world, and they must find a way to fight back in order to keep their family safe.
