A deadly virus reaches the tourist city of Las Vegas. No one is prepared for the casualties or the mass panic it causes. Over a million people struggle to evacuate. Led by Officer Dave Roberts, a small band of survivors escapes to a borax mine in the desert of Death Valley, avoiding contact with the outside world. The mine, referred to as the Dug Out, is not all it seems. Soon, the underground society rewrites acceptable norms to suit themselves and the circumstances they live in. Communal baths, plural marriages, and tribal-style punishment councils become the norm. Residents like Delaney Priest and her mother Ashley soon realize the portal door keeping the virus out is now used to keep everyone in. Despite her fears of contracting the killer virus, Delaney stages a heroic struggle to resist the accepted cult mentality and leave The Dug Out behind.
