1983: the height of the Cold War and the closest the world ever came to nuclear annihilation. And it happened; the world ended. Years have passed and the only person who knows the truth - who was in the room and failed to keep the bombs from falling - is former CIA agent Sno. Stricken with an unflinching weight of sins past, Sno is further burdened by the responsibility of looking after a young, orphaned boy named Judas in a chaotic, post-apocalyptic America where resources are scarce and safety from cruel inhabitants is even scarcer. This Mourning Earth is Cormac McCarthy's The Road meets Paul Schrader's First Reformed - a character-driven, post-apocalyptic noir wrestling with deep spiritual questions of guilt, absolution, and human depravity amidst the uncertainty of a new tomorrow.
