Summary:
The morning after Hurricane Leo rips through the town of Canaan, residents awaken to widespread destruction. Five eighth-grade boys discover an old bomb shelter, unearthed by the hurricane. Inside, the boys find a completely intact underground lair, complete with electricity, food, and entertainment (in the form of videocassettes). The boys vow to keep the place's existence to themselves. Things soon get tense. What started out as a fun place to escape soon becomes a serious refuge for one of the kids who is trying to avoid an abusive home situation. In order to save the shelter, the boys must keep its secret, and in order to save themselves, they're going to have to share their individual secrets, and build the safest place they can.
