The Safe Room

Set in the 1950's, John Robert Greenglass, a nuclear scientist, is leading a team under "Kingdom Corporation" in the creation of an infinite source of energy. One day, a freak accident occurs when the reactor the team is building goes haywire, creating a nuclear chain reaction that ends life on earth as we know it. Greenglass ends up locked in the facilities experimental safe room during the blast; and with nobody left to let him out, remains trapped for years and years living off canned food and drink, slowly losing his mind in his struggle against the tremendous guilt he bears.
