Level 7 is a giant nuclear bunker established deep under the earth. It was designed to protect important government figures from the radioactive wasteland created in the aftermath of an atomic war. A computer technician known only as X127 (or "H") and his colleague are assigned the duties of manning the console that arms Level 7's nuclear arsenal. Despite their defenses, the staff fear the effects of the radiation that is slowly seeping down into the bunker.
