A devastating portrait of ordinary family life unraveling in the slow aftermath of nuclear catastrophe, grounded in intimate human suffering rather than spectacle.

It's just another day in the small town of Hamlin until something disastrous happens. Suddenly, news breaks that a series of nuclear warheads has been dropped along the Eastern Seaboard and, more locally, in California. As people begin coping with the devastating aftermath of the attacks — many suffer radiation poisoning — the Wetherly family tries to survive.
