"When shady hedge fund strategist Heinz Globitz employs a lucrative scheme to convert the government's unused nuclear waste repository into the ultimate survival bunker, the situation goes gravely awry.

His one thousand feet deep, underground facility holds a small self-contained city, complete with ultra-safe bunker apartments. There, fifty wealthy and carefully vetted families, plus a support staff, will be safe from catastrophic nuclear attacks, biological contamination, pandemics, government revolution, and economic collapse. With twenty years of provisions, the Yucca Mountain Sanctuary serves as a valuable refuge when a doomsday asteroid, 1989DP Onesimus, strikes Earth.

Randall Meredith, his wife, and their two children are some of the lucky ones able to ride out the effects of the asteroid's impact. But boredom, temperaments, and underground confinement become problematic, despite the myriad of available activities in the bunker complex. Even worse, they soon realize they are sealed in, unable to escape. Finding a way out of the sanctuary becomes their dreadful ambition."
