On October 30, 1962, young Grace (Sophie Elliott) knows her father (Glenn Lefchak), who is a high-ranking military officer, is afraid that the United States and the Soviet Union are about to unleash nuclear attacks on each other's homeland. He takes her and her mother (Geneviève Steele) to a fallout shelter. A tragic accident, however, separates the girl from her parents, and she is trapped in Bunker #6 where Lewis (Daniel Lillford), a kind technician at the shelter, looks after her.
Ten years later, the nuclear fallout shelter Bunker #6 is still the home for Grace (Andrea Lee Norwood). When Lewis, her mentor and father figure, dies, she is left to take charge of a small group of survivors in a deteriorating underground shelter. The group is unaware of any other survivors of the nuclear holocaust that has enveloped the Earth.
Grace's daily task is to monitor the communications room and try to establish contact with others who have survived the war. One day, she hears a scratchy message from Bunker #8, but her efforts to tell the others about the discovery is met with dismayed reactions as the radio sets remain dead.
Alice (Molly Dunsworth), Grace's arch rival for control of the bunker, is upset and demands that the radio monitoring be stopped. Grace receives motherly advice from Mary (Shelley Thompson) but events begin to take a strange turn with Eric (Jim Fowler) and Joe (Glen Matthews) at odds over Eric's attempts to leave the shelter.
Grace seemingly sees her friends murdered as she starts to hallucinate. Her thoughts of what lies in the outside world beyond the heavy blast doors of the bunker leads her to make a decision that may prove to be fatal.
