The year is 1950. The McDoodle household hums with mundane life: Dolores cleans, Ted reads, Mary Jane plays tuba, and Timmy toys. Then, a piercing alarm shatters the peace. A nuclear strike is imminent. Panic ensues as the family scrambles for the bunker. Dolores grabs medical supplies and food; Ted secures rations and a handbook. Now, sealed underground, the family sits in heavy silence, waiting.
