Guests arrive at Thornfield. But what is Edward hiding from Charly? In a near-future world on the brink of societal collapse, the wealthiest 0.01% have retreated into luxury bunkers. These high-tech fortresses boast swimming pools, cinemas, and hydroponic farms, but their inhabitants live in a bubble of paranoia and control. Charly takes a job tutoring the children of reclusive billionaire Edward in his doomsday bunker. But when strange things start happening, it seems dark secrets are buried in this vast bunker too. In the real world, the super-rich are already building bunkers ready to provide sanctuary from the apocalypse. In Chlo毛 Myerson claustrophobic thriller, we ask: what happens next? CAST Charly ....
