About the title
Ray, Claire, and their seven-year-old daughter Zoe are an ordinary American family living in Kingsville, North Carolina — except they've been living in a bomb shelter ever since the world ended. Over 301 days they've turned the concrete dungeon into a home, holding on to memories of the past and hoping to one day return to normal life. For 301 days they've managed to avoid whatever lives on the surface — the heavy breathing and thudding footsteps in the night.
