Two are natives to the area; the other three are visiting from Connecticut. Twenty-two days later the small party has dug its way out, only to find a world of devastation. It seems a comet, passing too close to the earth, has left in its wake a path of poisionous debris that has killed off most of the plant and animal life on earth. Pooling their skills and tlaents, these resourceful survivors establish new lives out of the wreckage that surrounds them. They also begin an extensive and dangerous search for other survivors - for the very future of humankind will ultimately depend on not depleting their very modest gene pool by forever intermarrying amongst themselves."
