A tough mine engineer is doing his job when the roof of the mine suddenly falls down. He and his colleagues are trapped. When they’ll finally get out, they find out that there has been a nuclear accident. The mine engineer gets sick and he starts to think about his life.

Kari Heiskanen is an excellent actor when you need a tough looking guy. Although he does his best, he can’t do much for the boring story. The promising start is the only good thing in this movie.
