It could be about the chaos and struggles in a suburban area that are somehow related to a war - like situation. Maybe it's about conflicts between different groups in the suburbs, or the impact of external events that bring a sense of war to the otherwise peaceful suburban setting.
Since I don't know the details of the story, it's hard to say exactly. But they could be ordinary suburban residents who find themselves in extraordinary situations due to the 'war' situation. Maybe a local shopkeeper, a stay - at - home parent, or a group of teenagers.
