The souls of the dead appear in the physical world, reaching out for the living. When the souls of the dead cross into the physical world looking for the living, the contact sets off enormous blasts that erase everything nearby, a phenomenon called the Death Stranding. Nations and civilization fall, and the survivors live apart, withdrawn and disconnected. A legendary porter sets out to deliver cargo and the wishes of its senders, hoping to reunite people. Somewhere in North America, while Sam Bridges walks the continent to save America, others cope with their solitude in their own ways. An old man seeks salvation outside the connection Bridges promotes, a female warrior wants to start a world of endless conflict, a boy holds a grudge against Bridges, and a girl chooses loneliness. As the world nears its end, their fates and hopes draw together. This original ONA draws on the Death Stranding video game, blending action, adventure, horror and supernatural science fiction.
