Once safe inside their scientifically enabled refuge—where for every one minute experienced within 20 passes for the world outside—the D’mour family now have to contend with a new world that wants nothing more than to break down their walls . . . While outside, we discover the last vestiges of humanity with grand campfire tales of the world that ended and the Red Storm that unleashed death on our forefathers . . . How a young boy called Tommy was found in their wilderness . . . And how that boy’s clouded memories of the refuge called the Forever Home could now spell doom for those that saved him from certain death.
