<P> Almost a year after a deadly virus sweeps Earth , Phil Miller ( Will Forte ) is seemingly the only human survivor in late 2020 . As he searches for others and paints signs stating he is alive in his hometown of Tucson , Arizona , he finds no one . Before attempting suicide , he discovers another survivor , Carol Pilbasian ( Kristen Schaal ) . Despite being annoyed by each other , Carol insists Phil marry her so their children will not be born out of wedlock . Although Phil thinks that it is ridiculous to hang on to traditions from the `` old world '' , they marry for re-population purposes . Over the next several months , more survivors join them . When Phil 's irritating attitude leads to his banishment from Tucson , Carol leaves with him . </P>
