The Divide: In this
graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller, nine strangers-all tenants of a
New York high rise apartment—-escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the
building's bunker-like basement. Trapped for days underground with no hope for
rescue, and only unspeakable horrors awaiting them on the other side of the
bunker door, the group begins to descend into madness, each turning on one
another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and
tensions flare, and they grow increasingly unhinged by their close quarters and
hopelessness, each act against one another becomes more depraved than the next.
While everyone in the bunker allows themselves to be overcome by desperation and
lose their humanity, one survivor holds onto a thin chance for escape even with
no promise of salvation on the outside.

has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have
