Some sort of apocalypse wreaks havoc on our planet, and before you know it, all the people are gone. Except for one: the last person on Earth.

After wandering around aimlessly (assuming it's a man), he somehow manages to run into the last woman on Earth. They decide that it's up to them to save the human race, so they start making babies. And soon enough, the Earth is re-populated, and everyone lives happily ever after. Turns out it's not that easy.
