In a desolate Australian outback, ten years following a global economic collapse, society has decayed into a lawless wasteland. Amidst this harsh, unforgiving landscape, a hardened and solitary man is driven by the singular purpose of retrieving his stolen car. The vehicle, containing an unspecified but evidently valuable cargo, is hijacked by a gang of desperate criminals following a botched heist.

The man manages to capture one of the members of the gang, an injured and naive American, who was left behind after an altercation with the other criminals. Though the American appears simple-minded, he holds information regarding the gang's whereabouts. The man sees this as an opportunity to leverage the American's knowledge to track down his car. Together, they set out on a relentless pursuit across the barren terrain, each driven by their own personal motivations. As they continue their journey, the dynamic between them shifts from captor and captive to uneasy allies in a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity.
