Captain Sandaker and First Lieutenant Wallace, two-man crew of a remote missile silo, hold the literal keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Locked in an underground control room, the two missileers try to find ways to keep the terror—and the boredom—of nuclear watch at bay while not losing their tether to reality. As personal secrets become nuclear ones, Wallace and Sandaker must decide where their loyalties lie and face the fact that there are worse things than missiles buried underground.
