Survival is only the beginning.
Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They're exhausted, traumatized, desperate now. This is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it's the most promising they've seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.
Problem is, they're not alone . . .
So begins a searing journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it's keeping your humanity if you do.
