Set against the backdrop of a brutal summer heatwave, seventeen-year-old Jamilah Monsour makes plans for what she’s certain is the beginning of the climate change catastrophe that will end the world. Luckily, Jamilah knows what has to be done to save her family: transform the back alley garage into a bunker.

When an electricity blackout strikes, Jamilah’s climate change anxiety kicks into high gear and she ends up staying out all night, infuriating her father. Tension at home erupts and Jamilah runs away and joins a climate change protest where she gains some hope for the future. When she returns home, her parents see just how deep Jamilah’s convictions run and the family discusses her attending university to study environmental science, a plan they can all agree on.
