Australia, 1984. David, James and Sydney are normal teenagers living normal lives, but things are about to change. When a nuclear strike shatters their lives, they are forced into a desperate struggle for survival. Not knowing who they can trust, they are about to learn that the real war is just beginning.

When you know your every move is being watched, when you know that whatever you do, you will pay the price for your actions, you eventually learn to stick closely by the rules laid down for you. 

But what if one day, you slip up and are directly in the firing line for a crime that you had nothing to do with. Would you run away? Would you save yourself?

Would you return, risking your life, just to stop everything you hold dear going down in flames?

You get up. You look around. You were right.

With my eyes closed, I let myself hear the sounds of the quarter. The hum of talk, the rattle of carts, the clopping of hooves. It was all part of the background noise; always there, but almost never heard, never concentrated on.
