Above and Below is a rugged roller coaster ride featuring survivalists in a world of challenge and beauty. Rick & Cindy in the flood channels deep beneath the sparkling streets of Las Vegas, Dave in an abandoned bunker in the parched No Man's Land, and April in the rocky Utah desert on her mission to Mars. Flung into worlds unknown, we encounter souls more akin than we would suspect.
