Sheriff Holston (David Oyelowo) and his wife, Allison (Rashida Jones), receive long-awaited permission to have a child – in the bunker community, population is tightly controlled, and therefore each request for childbearing is carefully considered, and then the couple is given a certain period in which they must have time to conceive  child. However, the initial happiness of Holston and Allison is gradually fading away, because all their attempts do not bring the long-awaited result. During the celebration.

Freedom Day – the anniversary of the suppression of the rebellion, who were going to open the hatch of the bunker and thereby kill the entire community, Allison meets a certain IT specialist. He asks her to help restore the files on the old disk, the mere storage of which is already considered a crime.
