@Pepijn Also, something very similar to the plot hook actually happened in real life!

Except the boys didn't go Mad Max on each other - they set up a commune where they tended a garden, kept chickens, maintained a permanent fire and even built a makeshift gym. When one of them broke his leg, the others set his leg, divided his work shifts fairly among themselves and tended to his health while he recovered.
