Cast

Plot

Synopsis/summary: In a future where a plague has infected much of the population, two brothers are tasked with retrieving a mysterious package by traveling to Canada, which mining conglomerates have turned into a wasteland. Two brothers must travel the same road that claimed their sister's life in their quest to deliver mysterious cargo that they received to its proper destination. En route they must contend with road pirates, rebel gangs, and each other.

Production
"To produce a movie with local crew and a strong cast in my hometown is a huge win. Remaining local is a must for SuperGrid. With Lowell at the helm, we are pumped to show the world an epic prairie apocalyptic road movie, that is produced right here in Regina".

— Producer Hugh Patterson[4]
