In a world ravaged by a devastating flu pandemic that has wiped out most of humanity, a lone survivor named Hig finds solace in the skies above Colorado, patrolling the desolate landscape in his trusty Cessna. Accompanied only by his loyal dog Jasper and a grizzled, survivalist neighbor named Bangley, played with gruff intensity by Paul Rudd, Hig clings to a fragile routine of hunting, scavenging, and avoiding the violent roving bands that threaten what little remains of civilization. Haunted by the memory of his late wife and the life they once shared, Hig begins to hear a faint, mysterious radio transmission from somewhere beyond the horizon, a signal that suggests he may not be entirely alone. This discovery awakens a desperate hope within him, compelling him to risk everything on a perilous journey into the unknown. Blending the quiet introspection of a post-apocalyptic drama with moments of heart-pounding tension, this film from director Riley Stearns explores the profound depths of human endurance, the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog, and the courage it takes to search for connection in a shattered world.
