In the summer of 1962, the possibility of nuclear war is all anyone talks about. Scott's dad is the only one in the neighborhood who builds a bomb shelter for his family and stocks it with just enough supplies to keep them alive for two weeks. When the unthinkable happens, the neighbors force their way into the shelter. With not enough supplies, life inside the shelter is horrendous. But even worse is the question of what will and won't remain when the door is opened again.
