Series

For many years, a man and woman have struggled to survive in a barren and lonely wilderness, in this haunting and mysterious new film by Thomas Woodrow. Each night, the man (Aaron Stanford, SyFy’s 12 Monkeys) tells the story of their lost home, forever promising that it’s over the next horizon. When the couple stumbles upon the ruins of a vanished society, they find food and shelter. The woman (Louisa Krause, Showtime’s Billions) wants to push on towards home, but the man reveals that “home” was just a story – a lie to keep them going. As tensions escalate, they encounter a silent and immobile stranger (Doug Jones, The Shape of Water) deep within the buildings, who has a compelling, sinister appeal for each of them…
