Not With a Bang: A family drama at the end of the world, for fans of Station Eleven and The Last of Us

‘Our father had imagined the end of the world so often that, for a while, he believed that he summoned it…’

The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways – Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar’s obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the devastating diagnosis their mother has been desperately trying to keep hidden.

Then, on the morning of the eldest daughter’s wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, and the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city – back to safety, survival, and each other.

A family drama perfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Leftovers.
