Synopsis
In Australia, four teenagers in the Sydney Opera House- Sharon, Eva, Brendan and Tony- are horrified to hear the news that nuclear war has broken out in Europe and witness an horrific newscast that depicts irradiated, pain-wracked and disfigured victims of one nuclear blast with skin hanging off their bodies. The quartet try to figure out the best way they can survive the escalating conflict, as nuclear missiles start to hit Australian military and strategic targets and it may only be a matter of time before they start to detonate over large Australian population centres such as Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Hobart, Launceston, Perth, Fremantle and Canberra. At the film's end, it is left uncertain whether Sydney will be directly hit by nuclear weapons as Sydney's inhabitants await their fate in the Sydney underground, although the US spy facilities at Pine Gap and the US/Australian Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar (South Australia), as well as West Australian mineral and oil facilities at North West Cape have already been obliterated by nuclear weapons as military targets. Moreover, so has an undisclosed 'metropolitan' area to the south of Sydney.Actors

The film focuses on 10-year-old Devon Stockard (Mischa Barton), a precocious and lonely young girl who has recently moved into a gated community called Camelot Gardens with her parents, Morton and Clare (Christopher McDonald and Kathleen Quinlan). Recently having recovered from open heart surgery, Devon is encouraged by her parents to make friends, and she is pushed to sell cookies for a charity event for the summer. While selling cookies, Devon leaves the gated community against the instruction of her mother, and meets Trent Burns (Sam Rockwell), a poor man who lives in a trailer in the woods, and who does landscaping work in Camelot Gardens.
