A young woman wakes up in a bomb shelter, with only her older next door neighbor – a man her father has repeatedly described as “creepy” – for company. He tells her that the world outside has been laid to waste. So far as he knows, they’re the last two human beings left alive; a lead door protects them from what’s outside. Or so he tells her. She discovers that he’s been “admiring” her from afar for some time. Now she doesn’t know if anything he’s told her about the world beyond that door is true…or if she’s any safer if she stays where she is.
