From the writer of Furious' award-winning production of Hunter Gatherers comes a comedy both epic and intimate that spans billions of years. It begins as a grad student?s online personal ad lures a mysterious journalism student to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of ?no strings attached? sex. When a major global catastrophic event strikes the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

7-time Emmy Award nominee Julia Duffy stars in "boom" with Furious ensemble members Nick Cernoch and Megan Goodchild!
