"Anne Burden is alone. After a nuclear holocaust only her valley is left untouched. Anne tries to make a new life for herself, dreaming of a time when she has somebody else to share it with. One day however somebody does come, wearing a strange suit that protects him from the radiation. Anne hides at first but when the newcomer swims in the polluted steam and falls sick she must reveal herself. But after nursing him back to health Anne starts to wish that she had remained alone as things all start to go wrong."
