Elle lives an ordinary life in a post-apocalyptic doomsday bunker. That is, until she finds a crumbling section of tunnel that reveals the first of many lies she’s been told about why her people live underground. Once she sees the light, her life becomes a lot less predictable and loads more dangerous. She’s harassed by the enigmatic Commander. She must ward off unwanted romantic advances from older male survivors. She seeks and finds forbidden solitude, only to have that precious silence broken by the presence of an obnoxious companion. And, as the ultimate insult, everyone seems to know more about her past than she does.
Even as Elle comes to appreciate the dangers of the plague-ravaged wasteland outside her home, she learns that the real threat to her people may already be inside the bunker.
