One that will thrive after the scientists set off a nuclear apocalypse to eradicate the current, failing system. When their compound is attacked by a large group of outsiders who want to stop the scientist’s plan, Atom’s life is saved by a clone named 80. The budding friendship between them sets off an awakening within both to the true state of the world.
