Two teenagers, Jed and Marina, have little in common beside the fact that their parents have joined a {{cult}} that believes that the world is about to end on July 27, 2000. All the families in this cult (called The Believers), Believers) have made a camp at the top of a mountain to wait out the Apocalypse.Apocalypse.
