Far beneath the earth is Kimera Underground Park, a luxurious oasis created for the ultra-wealthy to weather the apocalypse. While World War III hangs over their heads, a team of billionaires barricades itself away from civilization in high living underground, being sequestered to a decaying, war-torn world above. But their luxury paradise is breached soon enough, as the plot thickens.

Deep down, two warring families tear into each other in Billionaires' Bunker. Their internal wounds, now festering, break the decorum by the minute. The billionaires enjoy their ancient privilege, bound to the bunker's basketball court, zen garden, cocktail bar, therapist's couch, and spa; however, they are smothered in the underground universe replete with enigmas and deadly secrets. And anticipation grows as Billionaires' Bunker arrives sooner than imagined.
