Rizwan Manji
Nine neighbors, trapped beneath a city under siege, must overcome their prejudice in order to survive the night. As the air raid sirens go off, Jake and his daughter Hannah retreat to the make-shift bomb shelter in their Brooklyn basement, and are soon joined by several neighbors. Tensions run high as the diverse group struggle to hold on while bombs go off outside their shelter. When the building above collapses, they are trapped, and must work together in order to survive the night and each other.
