✦ Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Amanda was dreading a boring afternoon at a Broadway theater, babysitting her ten-year-old brother Peter and watching her obnoxious cousin Cindy perform the lead role in an Off-Broadway production of "Annie." After the show, as they wait to be picked up in Cindy’s basement dressing room, something unimanageable happens—the theater, and perhaps the entire city, explodes above them! Armed with a laptop and backpacks, the terrified but determined tweens manage to escape through an old door in the men's room and climb down a Prohibition-era stairway to the subway.

When they emerge, they are stunned to find an empty city where the streets are choked with abandoned cars and plagued by looters running wild. With Amanda leading the pack, the group dodges thieves and thugs, making their way to Grand Central Station, where there has been an explosion of white powder. What really happened? Is it a terrorist attack?

Determined to solve the mystery and reunite with their families, the teen posse quickly expands, adding some quirky characters they meet along their way.
