In a post-apocalyptic village where the elders have hidden humanity's terrifying history, a woman must fight to keep the community together when her brother learns of the past and becomes obsessed with converting the beliefs of the villagers.
SYNOPSIS:
imagine there's countries - no religion too
Set in the village of Family, somewhere in the middle of what used to be North America. By Gregorian calendar, it is 2134, but no one has used it since the end of the final world war 5 generations ago. This community came together and has begun to thrive as the land and air has began to settle. They are watched over by the Elders, who vowed never to let the falsehoods of their ancestors infect the mind of the new Family.
With no electricity, running water or luxuries of 2022 - it’s a simpler way of life. A community where beliefs and devotion lay only with the needs of Family.
When a new barn is needed, all gather as one.
When there is a union between two people, all gather as one.
When there is a cry for help, all gather, as one.
The final war brought more than just the end of 90% of the population, but the end of any and every thing that put the needs one - or a few - over the needs of the many, including religion.
Paul is a simple man in his mid 30’s with no real talent or skill. He has leaned on his younger sister, Rebecca, since they were children. After a series of strange events, Paul begins to believe a voice is guiding him to finding purpose. Suddenly, this once social neglect has begun to attract friends, followers and believers. And this small collective is seen as a threat to some. Rebecca and her life-partner Akim, go to the Elders to seek advice, only to learn of they’re plan to crush the uprising before the rift in the thin social fabric of Family causes an all-out war.
Akim makes one final plea to Paul to end this obsession and help restore peace. Paul feels betrayed by and he too makes one final plea and that his only wish has been to bring peace and end the unquestioned power the Elders have over Family. With no end in sight, they part, fearing there will only be one end the feud.
Civil war is eminent, two sides stand before each other.
One with belief that someone has shown them light.
One securer that the foundation Family was build on is right.
Darkness falls over Family and peace is broken.
