A bleak, slow-burn neo-western about survival and desperation in a collapsed world, where two damaged men form a fragile bond amid violence and moral decay.

Ten years after a severe economic collapse in the western world, lawlessness reigns and life is cheap. Eric is a lone drifter, and his car is his only possession. When a gang steals it, Eric comes across the injured Rey, left behind by the car thieves. The pair form an unlikely and uneasy alliance.
