A airplane drops an atomic bomb, after which the pilot is ordered into hiding by the command centre. They've even rented a chunk of jungle for him, the place he begins a micro-community. Nonetheless, an influence wrestle ensues between his half-blind granddaughter Ruby, the insomniac bodyguard, the priest appointed as her guardian by the pilot, and a policeman who says he's household. Issues explode when Ruby befriends a mysterious stranger.
