Station Eleven meets Leave the World Behind in this family drama at the end of the world about a crumbling household's attempts to find their way back to each other amidst a cataclysmic event. "Our father had imagined the end of the world so often that, for a while, he believed that he summoned it." The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways - Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar's obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the diagnosis their mother has been trying to keep hidden. When, on the morning of the eldest daughter's wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city--back to safety, survival, and each other.
