What Is The Trap About?
The premise of The Trap without spoilers.
Set in the underground living quarters of a scientist assigned to an international nuclear‑waste facility on Sweden’s west coast, the story unfolds at the close of 1999. In the oppressive family room, John, his wife Margareta and their son Peter watch a television that cheerfully preaches the promises of the coming New Millennium, a stark contrast to the looming, unseen dangers surrounding them.
