The movie is set in the near future, in a world where an environmental catastrophe has wiped out most of humanity. The remaining survivors live underground, in a high-tech facility that is designed to keep them safe from the toxic air outside. The facility is run by two maintenance workers, Bauer (Reedus) and Cartwright (Hounsou), who are responsible for keeping the life support systems running.

The two workers have been in stasis for several months and are awakened every six months to perform maintenance tasks. However, when they wake up, they discover that the facility's systems are malfunctioning and that they are the only ones left alive. The two men must work together to try to fix the life support systems before it's too late.

As they delve deeper into the facility's systems, they discover that the situation is more complex than they imagined. They encounter unexpected hazards, and their own mental state begins to fray under the pressure of their situation. The two characters have opposing personalities; Bauer is more cynical and detached, while Cartwright is more emotional and empathic. Their contrasting viewpoints lead to some conflict between them, adding to the tension of the movie.
