Over time, Ray's wife becomes disillusioned with their marriage and asks for a divorce.

Shattered, Ray retreats to his mountaintop cabin and nearby survival bunker. There he finds evidence that his wife and best friend have been having an affair.

Before Ray can return home to confront them, the news that an asteroid is heading toward Earth breaks and Ray becomes trapped on the mountain. there he awaits his daughter, who is trained to head for the bunker if the worst occurs.

While waiting at the bunker, Ray witnesses two college kids, fleeing the asteroid, break into his cabin to rest. They are soon accosted by local ruffians and one is killed.

Despite his rule about keeping out of trouble, Ray intercedes and saves the other student (a young woman) and keeps her safe at his cabin.

Eventually, the local punks return and search for Ray.

Just then, his daughter finally arrives and comes into contact with the locals.

Ray attempts to save his daughter, but is caught. He is about to be killed when he is rescued by his best friend and his wife, who were lagging behind his daughter.

Ray is overjoyed to see his daughter and still loves his wife... but the bunker seats three and there are five people hoping to be saves.
