michelle is seen quickly and angrily
packing all of her things from the
apartment she shares with her fiance
before leaving she makes a call that
doesn't end well she grabs a bottle of
scotch and leaves the keys next to her
engagement ring
michelle leaves town and stops at a gas
station in the middle of nowhere
when she continues driving her ex-fiance
calls her and she picks up but doesn't
say a word
he begs her not to run away because of
one argument and she hangs up
she turns on the radio to listen to the
news which report on a blackout that
happened earlier in the day
ben calls her again but this time she
doesn't answer
suddenly something hits her car and she
gets pushed off the road
michelle wakes up within four in her arm
not remembering how she got there
she feels that her leg is hurt and
checks it only to find that it is
chained to the wall
looking at the place it becomes obvious
that she's not in a hospital
she sees her things along with her phone
on the other side of the room and
yanks out her four michelle panics for a
moment because she can't get to them or
unchain her leg
but she calms down and uses the fourth
pole to get to her cell phone
unfortunately she doesn't have any
service suddenly
she hears a rumbling noise outside and
waits to see her captor
a large man enters carrying a gun and
some food for her
she begs him not to hurt her and let her
go but he just sets her for back up and
tells her that she needs fluids to
recover
terrified michelle asks what he'll do to
her the man
howard says he'll keep her alive and
brings her a set of crutches
telling her to learn how to use them she
tells him that her boyfriend is looking
for her
to which he replies that no one actually
is he drops the key to the cuffs on her
bed and leaves
locking the hatch behind him michelle
quickly unchains herself
puts her clothes on and starts looking
for a way to escape
she uses the key to the cuffs to sharpen
one of the clutches and waits for howard
to come back
at one point she realizes that he won't
come back soon when she hears the air
circulating in a vent
she finds her matches and starts a fire
inside the vent then waits
the smoke activates the alarm and howard
rushes to the room or rather sell
she attacks him but he quickly
incapacitates her and sedates her
michelle wakes up to a new dinner plate
and howard sitting opposite her
telling her that she's tough he admires
her for that but
isn't willing to put up with it anymore
since he's already been too generous
howard gives hands her some painkillers
for her leg she begs him to let her go
but he says that there is no place to go
furthermore he saved her life by
bringing her there
howard sits down to explain the
situation to her he says that there was
an attack
but that he's not sure what kind it was
he tells her that he found her car
flipped over and couldn't leave her
there
so he took her to his bunker under his
farm house michelle thanks him but asked
to go to a hospital
howard says that she can't leave because
if the attack was nuclear or something
even worse
there would be fallout and it might be
years before they could go outside at
all
luckily he says that he prepared for
something similar
michelle wants to call her family but
howard tells her that they're probably
dead
suddenly there's a racket outside of her
room he excuses himself
out and starts yelling at someone when
he comes back he tells her the same
thing he's told the other one
that she needs to eat sleep and show him
some appreciation
michelle hears a noise on the level
above her room and then some music
the door is open so she walks outside
and meets the other person that's in the
bunker
emmett they talk about what howard has
told them about the fallout but she just
wants to know if there's a way to escape
emmett believes what howard has told him
then howard shows up and leads the two
of them through the bunker toward the
bathroom
telling her what the things there are
there's a common area with various forms
of entertainment and a fully equipped
kitchen
michelle almost falls over and when emma
tries to help howard tells him that he
mustn't touch her
he takes her to the bathroom in his
private area and tells her that she can
only go in there with express permission
she asks for some privacy but he says
that he doesn't trust her enough to
leave her there alone and that she can
close the curtain
later howard is preparing dinner and
telling michelle about his daughter
when the lights phase out for a moment
and the same racket as before can be
heard above them
he says that it's the generators but she
wonders if it might be a car
michelle thinks they should call the
police to get information on what is
happening
but he tells her that if anyone was
alive he would have heard it on his
scanner
howard can tell she doesn't believe him
so he takes her to see some proof
they go to the hatch of the bunker
howard opens the first part that will
get them to an airlock end
once inside michelle takes a look
through the window
she sees two dead pigs and he tells her
that it's from being exposed to the air
michelle sees a truck outside too and
remembers it from her car crash
howard tells her that he keeps the outer
door sealed at all times
with no one coming in or out later
emmett comes into her room and invites
himself to sit down
she asks him what he knows about howard
and tells her that he was in the navy
working with satellites emmett was the
one to help him get the doomsday bunker
set up
he comments that howard is the
conspiracy theory type
michelle asks him if howard kidnapped
him too but he tells her that he
actually hurt his arm trying to get
inside the bunker not
out she doesn't believe the whole
doomsday scenario but emmett tells her
that he actually saw it happen
michelle doesn't believe him either and
he tries to convince her by telling her
that he fought his way in
she tells him that she heard a car above
them but he doesn't think it's possible
howard interrupts them for dinner
there's an awkward silence at the table
but howard pours them a drink and starts
talking about the food
telling michelle that she'll learn how
to cook emmett tries to get on his good
side and cheers in his name
he continues to talk trying to ease the
mood by telling them what he wishes he
would have done before
emmett asks howard what he wished but he
says that he already did what he needed
to do
yet prepared emmett continues blabbing
to howard's displeasure
so he tells him to be quiet and let them
eat in peace
michelle sees the keys on his belt then
continues the conversation that emmett
had started before
she flirts with him to make howard angry
and succeeds the man confronts her and
calls her ungrateful
asking her to apologize she tries to get
the keys
but fails then he insists she promises
to behave
pining her to the wall more closely
michelle makes the promise and sits down
successfully stealing his keys they
continue to eat
when he notices them gone there's
another sound from above and suddenly
michelle hits him and tries to run to
the hatch
leaving them behind she opens the first
door before howard can get to her and
locks it behind her
he yells for her not to open the second
door but she sees a car
in front and scrambles to open it
suddenly a woman that looks hurt appears
outside
begging to be let in michelle is
reluctant so she asks howard what to do
he tells her not to the woman says that
it hardly touched her and that she'll be
okay
michelle freezes unsure of what to do
when the woman starts
banging her head on the window later
michelle is crying in her room and
howard comes in to change a light bulb
he tells her that he knows how hard it
is to lose the people you love
then confesses that he crashed into her
car howard had panicked when he heard
about what happened and was driving like
a madman to get to the bunker
when he ran into her he tells her that
it was an accident but that it was his
fault and he was too afraid to tell her
he apologizes and gives her his
daughter's clothes after michelle
showers and changes
howard tells her that the woman was his
neighbor and like emmett she also knew
about the bunker
he thinks that others might come there
as well then he tells her that she'll
need to stitch up his forehead
she's scared to do it so he pours her a
drink that he distilled himself
they chat and michelle seems like she's
warming up to him
he disinfects the needle and she starts
stitching him up with him saying that
she's doing great
after they're done he gives her a box
with her belongings that he managed to
save from her car
she opens a sketchbook with her drawings
telling him that she wanted to design
clothes
his daughter wanted to be an artist too
howard shows michelle a photo of his
daughter and talks about her some more
he tells her that her mother took her to
chicago some time later
emmett and michelle talk through the
wall he tries to comfort her by saying
that she couldn't have helped the woman
they speak about regrets in their lives
he was an athlete in high school and
even got a scholarship to a good college
but he got cold feet and never left his
hometown
she tells him that she had an abusive
father and because of that she always
runs away instead of doing something
about the situation
emmett thinks that there must be a
reason behind their survival
in the following days michelle starts to
cozy up a little
their dinners aren't as awkward anymore
she becomes more relaxed and friendly
with emmett
the three of them even play games
together and eventually she even gets
closer with howard too
one day michelle and emma are in the
common area having fun and talking
when suddenly the bunker starts shaking
and there's some strange noise outside
she calls for howard asking for
reassurance when they realize they can
hear helicopters
he tells them that if it was helicopters
they wouldn't be theirs
but only part of the second phase of the
attack howard thinks that it might even
be extraterrestrials
patrolling for the last remaining signs
of life all of a sudden an alarm
activates
howard tells them that the air
filtration system is malfunctioning and
that something must be blocking the
hatch
if they don't fix it they'll run out of
air he tells michelle that she's the
only one that will fit inside the vents
and that she needs to restart the
filtration system
before she crawls in he instructs her on
how it's done and tells her not to get
stuck because they won't be able to get
to her and help
as she moves through the vent howard
helps her navigate until she reaches the
filtration unit
she does what he instructed her to do
and restarts the machine but sees
another hatch going outside
it's locked michelle sees the word help
written from the inside of the window
and when she gets down she finds
something
when she gets back she tells emmett that
howard must have lied about his daughter
and shows him the bloody earrings she
found
michelle shows him the photo of the girl
and he tells her that she isn't howard's
daughter
but another girl that he knew at some
point she went missing and never came
back the earrings were hers they find
another photo of howard and the girl
wearing the same shirt as michelle
she thinks that he took her and killed
her the two of them talk about what they
could do
but howard interrupts them and plays
music for them he tells her to shower
just in case of contamination when she
goes to do it
she gets an idea and shares it with
emmitt immediately that night
howard is watching a movie and emmett
goes to the kitchen
he steals a pair of scissors then goes
over to talk to him
he puts an idea in his head that
michelle might have brought in the
contamination with her when she touched
the filtration unit
howard panics and throws away the shower
curtains then the two of them scoop it
out from the trash
michelle begins designing and creating a
protection suit
and it helps her find everything that
she would need to make it most of it is
done and the two of them concoct a plan
on how to incapacitate howard so that
one of them can go outside and look for
help
one night the three of them play a game
of association there is an
awkward moment in the game when emmitt
miss understands what howard is making
him guess
but michelle steps in and saves him from
exposing their whole plan
later michelle is putting the suit
together when she hears something
outside
howard walks in and asks for her help
they join emmett in the common area and
he shows them a barrel which he needs to
be moved into the bathroom
inside of it is a type of highly
corrosive acid that can dissolve most
biological material on contact
suddenly howard confronts them showing
them that he found the tools they were
using and asking them what they were
doing with them
he drops the tools and the acid to scare
them and emma confesses
saying that he used the tools his story
is that he wanted to take his gun away
from him with some kind of weapon he
could make
so that he could get michelle to respect
him the same way she does howard
he apologizes but howard still kills him
howard talks to michelle like she's a
child
trying to calm her down saying that he
needed to kill emmett so he couldn't
hurt them
later michelle is in emmett's bunk she's
upset and goes through his things
when howard brings her some ice cream he
tells her that he wants the two of them
to be a happy family
she goes back to her room and finishes
the protective suit when howard almost
catches her with a mask
he walks in and asks her to dinner but a
bolt falls from the van then he goes to
check it
howard doesn't find the mask however he
sees a piece of the suit under her
mattress and uncovers the whole thing
michelle locks him in her room and runs
to get the liquid nitrogen
howard catches up to her and she spills
the acid on him managing to escape
the acid causes a fire to break out in
the bunker as she's hurrying to get the
suit
howard still alive somehow catches up to
her again
but she incapacitates him michelle
straps the suit to her leg and goes
inside the vent
as she's crawling through she sees that
howard isn't where she left him and
suddenly he stabs through the vent
he opens one of the hatches and grabs
her telling her that she doesn't know
what's outside and that she can't run
from them
howard begs her to stay but she breaks
out of his grip and gets to the
filtration system room
michelle puts the suit on and goes up
the stairs she sprays the lock with a
nitrogen
but it doesn't break immediately in a
panic she sprays it again and hits it
harder
eventually breaking it off michelle
makes it outside of the bunker and
instantly heads for the truck
she rips her suit getting in but manages
to close the hole
suddenly she hears birds chirping and
sees them flying in the sky
so she takes her mask off as she's
taking a big gulp of air
she hears something in the distance and
sees some kind of flying object
suddenly the bunker explodes the object
heads straight toward her and drops
something in the crop
michelle can't find the keys to the
truck so she goes to the woman's car
accidentally activating the alarm she
hears something behind her and hides in
a nearby shed
the woman's body is there too michelle
peeks through the window and sees some
kind of creature approaching the car
and lifting it like it weighs nothing at
all getting a better glimpse of the
alien sends her in a panic and she
rushes to find the woman's car keys
the thing peers inside the shed but
michelle distracts it by turning off the
car alarm
she walks outside and starts running to
a nearby house
screaming for help while the little
creature is after her when she suddenly
hears an ominous sound
the little one is gone and a giant one
appears behind the house
spraying it with something michelle puts
her mask back on
but the little creature sees her and
goes after her again
she barely escapes it suddenly tentacles
appear all around the truck and a giant
creature picks her up
as she's being pulled into its mouth
michelle finds a lighter in the bottle
of scotch
she makes an explosive out of it fast
and throws it into the mouth of the
giant
blowing it up michelle survives the
creature doesn't
she takes the woman's car and drives
away from the farm
suddenly the radio turns on and she
hears a human message telling survivors
where to go
michelle is faced with a decision go to
the liberated town of baton rouge
or head to houston where the fight is
still in progress she turns for houston
