As nuclear explosions ripple through New York City, the residents of a crowded apartment block rush downstairs, only to be funneled into the building’s basement as further blasts shake the structure. Eight people manage to squeeze into the shelter before the superintendent, Mickey, seals the door: Eva and her boyfriend Sam, Josh and his brother Adrien, Josh’s friend Bobby, Marilyn and her daughter Wendi, and Delvin. Inside, the cramped space becomes a small, tense world where Mickey asserts control over the group, and his authority irks Josh, Bobby, and Delvin.
