Synopsis

Sixty years after a devastating nuclear attack reduced America to ruins, the small Pacific Coast community of San Onofre survives through fishing and farming in pastoral simplicity. Young Hank Fletcher dreams of the world that might have been and yearns to play a role in America's rebirth, but tensions between scavengers who cling to the remnants of the old civilization and those building anew force him to confront difficult truths.
