When a devastating viral plague shuts down civilization, Prosper Prince gathers those closest to him and retreats to a remote bunker. Fully supplied and staffed, the plan is to ride out the storm in a series of cabaret entertainments. It is Halloween. Go ahead ... sing for your supper. Spun from Edgar Allen Poe's The MASQUE of the RED DEATH.
