A bleak, philosophically weighted sci-fi premise about escape and survival that trades spectacle for existential dread and ambiguity.

During a time of waning global resources, a crew of young researchers travel into the future to escape an apocalypse before the shutdown of their time transfer project. They find that some type of disaster has de-populated the Idaho region and, by implication, the nation or perhaps the world.
