The story

In the year 2058, an anomalously expanding red giant Sun threatens to engulf the Earth within 100 years.

Half of humanity, mostly chosen by lottery, moves underground; the others die from the cold and cataclysms resulting from the halt of the Earth's rotation as the planet is thrust out of its orbit around the Sun.

Both are arrested at a checkpoint and meet another prisoner, Tim.
