In the distant future the secular world segregates the spiritual to off-grid, gated reservations. On the eve of a government sanctioned apocalypse intended to eradicate the religious colonies, a parent and son have a clash of extremist ideologies with a confused child caught in the middle. Can this estranged family find common ground before their hour of oblivion?“No son, not a false God, just a new kind of God for a new era.”
