Artemis has lived 15 years in a Cold War Bunker living on food pills and working on paper work that is delivered through a pneumatic tube. Her only communication with the outside world is through a CB radio. Her daily routine is interrupted by her fear of what may have happened to her childhood friend Linda, who has ceased communication for the last several days.

In an alternate society, where everyone is given a death date, a woman clings to both her relationship with her husband, and her own life, the day before her scheduled termination.
