Disnaeland

What if the end of the world is the best thing that's never happened? As the apocalypse rolls on Donna and her eight-year-old daughter prepare for the worst. But despite the dying world, they find salvation with neighbours they never knew before.

There's a chip shop fryer, student dropouts, a street gang, a disillusioned academic, an elderly Jehovah's Witness and a shopkeeper who dreamed of being a journalist. Ordinary people do extraordinary things, from sharing a cooked meal to restarting the water supply using wind power. They build a new world in the ruins of the old.

But there's no paradise yet. Botched deals, armed survivalists and raids threaten to destroy progress. And the occasional screech of a fighter jet reminds them that the nuclear threat still looms...
