The Yanakaki family is camping, something they had never done before, when they were attacked by a nuclear weapon. The family rushes into a nuclear facility underground that their father had created. In all the confusion two family members, Eddy and Gram, get left behind. Eli, Eddys brother takes Eddys death very hardly because they were very close. The family is just beginning to get settled in, but will the good conditions last?
