Plot Synopsis

Ten people are isolated and forced to live as if there was a major catastrophe -- no electricity, no running water, and no communication with the outside world. They have two months to work together and create a liveable society using their backgrounds, skills and whatever materials they can scavenge. They'll have to build their own water filtration system, a battery bank to store electricity, a solar cooker, a shower system and a greenhouse.
