Death Stranding (2019) is about Sam Porter Bridges, a courier in a post-apocalyptic America shattered by the "Death Stranding," a cataclysm linking the living and dead, bringing ghostly BTs and aging Timefall rain. Tasked by President Bridget Strand (later Amelie), Sam must deliver a "Chiral Network" to reconnect isolated cities, facing rogue soldiers (Homo Demens) led by Higgs and supernatural threats, while discovering his connection to this phenomenon and aiming to save humanity by uniting the fractured nation and confronting the "Extinction Entity". The story culminates in Sam reuniting with his "BB" (Bridge Baby) Lou, finding family, and ensuring humanity's future, with Lou revealed as a girl.
