... Tyler’s buddy Miguel is recruited by a strange mind-bending cult. Tyler escapes to find that the U.S. is being quietly overrun. He meets Micki, the only other person he can find who hasn’t been Changed. They desperately pretend.
... Claire and Donald buy their starter home, a 1950’s Cape Cod. In their back yard, they discover a long-forgotten underground fallout shelter. Inside is a body.
