Basement is a contemporary drama set in Brooklyn New York, in a world overshadowed by fear. During the first bombing raid of the next big war, a single father and daughter retreat to their basement shelter, and are soon joined by seven neighbors they welcome in their safe haven. When the building above is bombed, they are trapped, and must work together to survive the night - and each other. The story is a reflection the cultural and political division in our country today. While the world outside the basement might be a dystopian future, the characters represent a cross-section of today's society. Basement posits the existential question, why can't we all get along?
