What is
the synopsis?
An American girl (Daisy)
comes to live with her British family in England. After building up a wall
against her cousins (Edmond, Isaac and Piper) the wall begins to break as she
settles into the country life. She begins to build a bond with the eldest
cousin and feels at ease with him. The bond later develops into a relationship
which is quite incestuous. The kids’ life soon does a complete 180 as World War
3 begins. The kids are split into different areas of the country with the girls
sent to one area and the boys sent to another area. The girls escape the safe
area in order to attempt to find the boys. During their journey to get back to
the barn, Daisy finds Isaac (the youngest son) dead among other dead people. In
the end Daisy and Piper find Edmond.
