Five years after the impact of interstellar comet Clarke destroyed civilization and most life on Earth, the environment is chaotic, with sudden electromagnetic storms, lingering radioactive fallout, deorbiting fragments of Clarke's debris ring, and tectonic earthquakes from the impact. The Garrity family lives in an underground bunker near Thule Air Base in Greenland. When an earthquake collapses their bunker, they are forced into an emergency evacuation. Most survivors are killed by a tsunami, and the facility is destroyed.
