Taking forward the story of post-apocalyptic America, this film circles around struggle, rising tyranny, and struggle for one's belief and humanness to be continued in a world full of chaos. An incisive, intense study of faith, community, and fortitude against a hostile canvas of the downfall of society and fanaticism.
