A dystopic Sci-Fi /Thriller set in the rural Australian bush, we follow ATLAS and his dog Charlie who are both locked into proximity-triggered collar devices that stop them from moving beyond an arbitrary perimeter. Under the watchful eye of surveillance-drones and a machine inside his cabin, Atlas is forced to maintain a rigorous and isolated farming schedule. One day Charlie breaks free from his leash and we come to understand the tragic consequences of breaching the perimeter. As a result Atlas is left with nothing to live for, but at the same time is presented with an opportunity to escape. As he ventures out on his own he quickly discovers that even bigger challenges lay ahead.
