Civilization crumbles. People flee cities amid pestilence and war. Mary & Joe barely survive—until invaders arrive and secrets are revealed.
About this Event

Western civilization collapses during an economic upheaval. Pestilence, violence and war drive people away from the cities. Mary and Joe survive in the sand-dunes, desalinating sea water with a ramshackle still Joe has devised. They eat insects and any random crustaceans that they are able to scavenge. Their love is but a faded memory…like the many comforts of their previous life. Then, invaders arrive. Valentino is a shark of a trader. Esmeralda is his accomplice and whore. One ill fated night in their company tears Mary & Joe apart. Yet, Joe must still play a crude dentist to treat Mary’s unbearable toothache. Ultimately, the still is destroyed. The invaders find Joe nearly dead and Mary at her wit’s end. Ultimately, hidden truths emerge that leave Mary with only one way out.
