Nuclear Family follows the story of John and Lynn, a young couple trying to survive in the wilderness after a nuclear apocalypse. The couple and their young daughter, Pauline, must navigate the woods and stay away from potential enemies including a gang of bandits called the Beserkers. The Beserkers are led by a cold and calculating leader simply known as The Man. The Man has a child, The Son, who tries to become the leader of the Beserkers. The couple's main mission is to locate their missing 8-year old son, Grant. The Beserkers make search efforts dangerous by stealing resources and destroying temporary shelters. The family meets other survivors on their journey and must determine the difference between friend and foe.

The family is joined by Pauline's friend, Zoe, an expert circus knife thrower, whose skills prove to be crucial to the family's survival.
